MONTREAL, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PyroGenesis Inc. (
http://pyrogenesis.com
) (TSX: PYR) (OTCQX: PYRGF) (FRA: 8PY1), a high-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced all-electric plasma processes and sustainable solutions to support heavy industry in their energy transition, emission reduction, commodity security, and waste remediation efforts, today announces receipt of a contract for titanium metal powder produced by PyroGenesis' NexGen™ plasma atomization process, from a European engineering and material science firm specializing in the additive manufacturing industry. The name of the client and terms of the contract will remain confidential for competitive reasons.
The client previously received and tested samples of PyroGenesis' metal powder. Today's contract announcement marks the first commercial order with this customer. The order is for a Ti64 'coarse' cut titanium metal powder, of the type that was recently qualified for use and added to the approved list of metal powders by a major global aerospace company. The powder for this order has already been produced and will be shipped to the customer over the next few weeks.

'This initial order comes after a successful review and testing process with this European customer. The high standard of Ti64 metal powder produced at PyroGenesis Additive is the result of years of groundbreaking design and engineering work that went into developing our NexGen™ plasma atomization process, and the commercial results of these efforts are starting to appear,' said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. 'This customer is a key technology hub for their region, with state-of-the-art engineering and R&D. We hope to see further contracts that reflect the importance of the customer's role within the industry.'
INDUSTRY AND MARKET CONTEXT
PyroGenesis is the inventor of the plasma atomization process and in fact coined the term 'plasma atomization' in its original patent. The Company's NexGen™ system is a patented upgrade to what is considered the gold standard process for the development of metal powder for additive manufacturing, also referred to as metal 3D printing.
PyroGenesis' development of high quality titanium metal powders is part of its
three-vertical solution ecosystem
that aligns with economic drivers that are key to global heavy industry. Metal powders are part of PyroGenesis' Commodity Security & Optimization vertical, where the development of advanced material production techniques, and the use of technology such as plasma to recover viable metals, chemicals, and minerals from industrial waste, helps to maximize raw materials and improve the availability of critical minerals. Titanium has been
identified as a critical mineral by the Canadian government
. The other verticals are Energy Transition and Emission Reduction, and Waste Remediation.
