Montreal was the perfect backdrop for the World Congress! Attracting delegates from 32 countries reinforced the need for the international powder metallurgy to come together on a biennial basis. The delegates represented all facets of metal powder technology, setting the stage for innovation and collaboration in our industry. From MPIF President Chris Adam, FAPMI, PMT, VALIMET, Inc., providing the State of the North American PM Industry report to Keynote Speaker Eric Baril, National Research Council of Canada, to the Prime Time Event Cirque de Montreal: An Evening of Enchantment, we pushed the boundaries of powder metallurgy!

The winners in the 2026 Powder Metallurgy (PM) Design Excellence Awards competition, sponsored by the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF), demonstrate outstanding examples of PM’s diversity and ability to meet critical requirements. From electric vehicles to security locks to portable dance floors, once again, parts fabricators have demonstrated PM’s versatility and unique ability to challenge competing technologies. These award-winning components use PM’s flexibility to push forward new concepts and process controls to demonstrate the inexhaustible range of PM’s capabilities.
