Puris LLC, Hazeltown, W.Va., a new entity comprised of the industry’s leading technology, experts, and processes, announced its market launch with the goal of establishing a new standard for purity in titanium and alloy powder production and near-net shape manufacturing.
Puris is comprised of the assets of the former FMW Composite Systems Inc., which filed bankruptcy in August 2013 and Summit Materials LLC. FMW’s assets include a 50,000 square-foot manufacturing facility and the only refractory-free gas atomization system in the U.S. Summit Materials brings technical sales and marketing, near-net shape capabilities and the expertise of Fred Yolton, a well-respected pioneer in titanium powder atomization.
A production house for powder and parts, Puris is ISO 9001 and AS 9100 certified. The company will offer the cleanest powder on the market with its patent-pending technology that eliminates critical contamination risks and by employing best practices in process and material procurement. Puris will primarily support aerospace, oil and gas, and medical industries.
“The launch of Puris creates an unprecedented opportunity to advance market adoption of titanium solutions,” Craig Kirsch, CEO of Puris, said. “Puris is first to market with the technical expertise, production capacity, and product purity to fully commercialize titanium powder and near-net shape parts.” According to Kirsch, Puris’ key competitive advantages include industry leading production capacity and a refractory-free gas atomization system, which sets a new standard for cleanliness. Puris’ patent-pending atomizer is an all-titanium system that completely eliminates the risk of iron contamination during processing.
