The PM and PIM industry's most comprehensive directory

The International Powder Metallurgy Directory (IPMD) has been a unique source of information on the global PM industry since 1977. The new 14th Edition, to be published in early February 2010, will contain nearly 5000 entries, making it the most comprehensive guide to both PM component producers and industry suppliers worldwide.

As such, the IPMD is an invaluable tool for PM, MIM and CIM parts producers looking to source materials and equipment, end-users seeking to use these technologies, and industry suppliers seeking new customers.

Includes our advanced on-line search facility
Our website offers users the ability to make detailed on-line searches of the complete directory. Searches can be made for suppliers of 200 specific products including finished parts, powders, equipment and services.

Searches can be limited to specific countries or world regions. Users can also search by address or company name.
