LPW Technology Ltd, developer, processer and supplier of high quality metal powders and software solutions for the additive manufacturing (AM) industry, has been included in The Sunday Times Hiscox Tech Track 100 for the second year running.

The firm ranks at 70, one of only eight organisations headquartered in the North West of England to make the league. The league table ranks Britain’s private technology, media and telecoms (TMT) companies with the fastest-growing sales.

Says LPW founder and chief Dr Phil Carroll: “To support our customers, we’re building a new, £20 million state-of-the-art facility in the UK to produce the next generation of premium, AM-specific metal alloys that the safety-critical sectors demand.

“Our ‘factory of the future’ will open in February 2018, enabling us to manufacture metal powders on-site in Liverpool, and in October this year our US operation will be moving to larger premises. These two new sites will allow us to process more materials and dispatch powders within 24 hours of receipt of order.”

He continues: “Complementing our comprehensive range of materials, we’ve developed a suite of software and hardware technology solutions that integrate material control and traceability into additive manufacturing environments.

“Achieving a placement in this prestigious league table for the second year in a row acknowledges the work we’ve undertaken to design end-to-end metal powder AM solutions that will ultimately facilitate AM uptake in the production environment.”
