The technology was developed by Composite materials ltd. The company was founded in 1989 with the participation of Ural Polytechnic Institute.
We continue R&D in field of porous metals and apply the replication casting technology in commercial manufacture of new products based on this technology.
Today our company is the leading manufacturer of porous aluminium by replication casting.
There were only 27 companies who used porous cast aluminum in 2000. Now we produce around 550 sizes for more than 400 customers in 12 countries.
