History
The company’s origins are in coal mining, bricks and pottery, but today Höganäs AB focuses solely on metal powders.
Although Höganäs is more than 200 years old, the path to becoming the world’s largest producer of metal powders effectively started with the introduction of the Höganäs Sponge Iron Process in 1910.
In the 1930s, iron powder was compacted and sintered to make components and since then the use of metal powders has grown dramatically.
