For more than fifty years we have engineered the metallurgy, atomisation and material technologies that aerospace, defence, medical, energy and advanced manufacturing depend on.

Across every product line, we apply deep metallurgical expertise to the materials advanced manufacturing depends on. 01 / 04 ### Metallurgy & material science Alloy design, particle morphology and microstructure — controlled and repeatable. 02 / 04 ### Atomisation & advanced processing Gas atomisation at qualified industrial scale, with downstream and specialty routes. 03 / 04 ### Engineered performance Materials specified to the part and qualified to the standard. 04 / 04 ### Trusted partner Embedded from R&D through qualification to serial production, across long horizons. Materials ## Built to scale beyond powder Materials specified to the part and qualified to the standard — for AM, MIM, HIP, thermal spray and near-net shape, alongside controlled expansion alloys. ### [![](https://www.ospreyatomiqs.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/osprey/images/additive.jpg) AM · L-PBF / EBM / DED Additive manufacturing High-sphericity, low-oxygen powders with controlled rheology for laser and electron beam systems at production scale.

Patents filed since 1984. Independent since 2026, with Mimir as new owner. 1. 1974 Founded as Osprey Metals — Milland Road, Neath, Wales. 2. 1986 Patent 4779802 — gas metal atomiser. 3. 2012 POW 8 — first one-tonne fine-powder plant commissioned. 4. 2021 AS9100 aerospace quality and ISO 45001 achieved. 5. 2026 Independence — Osprey stands on its own with Mimir as new owner.
