PyroGenesis Secures First Titanium Powder Order from European Aerospace Client

PyroGenesis Inc. has confirmed its first order for titanium metal powder from a European Scientific Aerospace Research Organization. The contract, announced on February 23, 2026, involves the supply of titanium powder produced using PyroGenesis’ NexGenTM plasma atomization process. This order marks a significant milestone for the company, showcasing its growing presence in the aerospace sector.

The unnamed client specializes in advanced research and testing techniques for the European aerospace industry. Similar to other national research organizations, it collaborates with leading aerospace companies to foster innovation and enhance industry standards. The titanium powder, specifically “coarse” cut Ti64, will be utilized in electron beam melting applications within the organization’s research and development initiatives.

The Ti64 powder, with a particle size ranging from 45 to 106 microns, is set to be shipped shortly. The terms of the contract remain confidential, a standard practice to maintain competitive advantage.

Significance of the Order

Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, emphasized the importance of this contract. He stated, “The order announced today is important for two reasons: not only is it the first contract with this very respected aerospace organization, but it’s also the first contract for the specific particle size range of 45 to 106 microns.” This development not only expands PyroGenesis’ client base but also enhances the range of metal powders the company offers, indicating a strategic expansion into the aerospace market.
