Continuum Powders Opens New Facility

Continuum Powders, a leader in high-performance, sustainable metal powders for advanced manufacturing, has opened its new global headquarters and environmentally friendly manufacturing facility in Houston, TX.

The new location, North America's largest sustainable metal powder production site, will host an event on December 5, offering guests an exclusive opportunity to witness its revolutionary advancements in low-carbon production methods firsthand.

The completion of the Houston facility is a significant milestone for Continuum Powders and reflects the company’s commitment to environmental responsibility, with the entire building operating as a green manufacturing center. Net-zero carbon energy partners and low-emission gas systems are integrated throughout, ensuring that the Houston plant has a low carbon footprint. The site is also pursuing green certification goals and is designed to maximize energy efficiency through renewable energy usage and advanced recycling initiatives.

This expansion also brings economic benefits to the area, creating new jobs and fostering partnerships with local businesses, further embedding Continuum Powders as an active member of the community.

“Our new Houston facility not only expands our production capabilities but also allows us to scale our mission of decarbonizing the manufacturing industry,” said Rob Higby, CEO of Continuum Powders. “We are committed to providing high-quality, cost-competitive metal powders while minimizing environmental impact. Our technology represents a distinct advantage in the market, offering sustainable solutions that align with the needs of forward-thinking industries.”

The facility features Continuum's proprietary Greyhound M2P (melt-to-powder) plasma atomization process, which provides operational flexibility to meet customer needs with exceptional precision and quality. The Greyhound M2P platform streamlines the repurposing of alloyed metal waste-stream products into high-quality metal powder in a single step. By enabling a cradle-to-cradle process, this platform significantly reduces the need for transportation, product handling, primary melting, and extensive long bar processing operations, while also minimizing the environmental impact by reducing the mining of elemental metal resources.

By delivering sustainable, reclaimed alloy powders through a single-step process, Continuum Powders addresses the growing demand for low-carbon manufacturing solutions without sacrificing quality or cost-effectiveness.
