RE:RE:Next Big ContractYeah for the European plant / partner, I saw that Aubert & Duval are building a new powder manufacturing plant down the road from their current plant in Spain and it will be 50% larger. They talk about moving in this Summer and adding powder manufacturing towers later. I'm hoping this will be Pyro's European partner and that will be the European Titanium 3D powder plant that Pyro had mentioned.
As for the North American Aerospace company. I saw that Pyro signed an NDA with Rolls Royce back in 2018, but they (RR) are not considered a North American company. So I do hope it will be Boeing, but when I search it, I just see Tekna as being Boeing approved in 2020. So I am anxious to see who this North American Aerospace company is. If anyone has any clues to show that it is Boeing, or anyone else please share !

The fact that Boeing selected PyroGenesis for these studies further validates PYR's powders (take a look a the results in the studies). Also, from PyroGenesis' recent news release (NR) on Additive Manufaturing/3D Printing:
- European Manufacturing Facility
Further to its press release dated July 18, 2022, wherein the Company announced that, in anticipation of expected growth of the European market as well as nearby markets, it is pursuing a strategy to build and operate a metal powder manufacturing facility in Europe:
The Company is happy to announce that it has entered early-stage discussions with at least one potential partner for this endeavor. This process is not expected to result in any significant action before 2023.
- Repurpose of R&D Reactor for Commercial Specialty Applications
The Company is upgrading and repurposing one of its existing plasma-atomization reactors, previously used for various metal powder R&D activities. By doing so, this reactor will be able to produce commercial metal powders for specialty applications. This process is currently underway. Long and Strong in PyroGenesis!
