A state-of-the-art facility was officially opened today by the Minister of Research, Science and Technology Dr. Wayne Mapp.
Set up by TiDA (the Titanium Industry Development Association) funded by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, the new Applied Powder Metallurgy Centre is designed to help launch a new billion dollar export industry in New Zealand.
The Centre is made up of several different laboratories that will help companies develop and test revolutionary new titanium products. It contains latest technology available to conduct materials research, design and prototype new products, and prepare small-scale commercial production runs.
TiDA chief executive Warwick Downing welcomes guests and dignitaries for the official opening and a tour of the facilities.
