Today, the Neath production site is the cornerstone of Sandvik’s metal powder manufacturing capability. The company states that the Osprey range of metal powders is the broadest on the market with over 2,000 different alloys, specialising in fine and mid-fraction sizes.

This scope of its atomising technology also enables Sandvik to manufacture its range of HIPped CE alloys which are suitable for various applications, including those with extreme temperature variations.
