Ultra Fine Specialty Products
traces its roots to Ultra Fine Powder Technology (UFPT), which was founded in 1987 by a group of powder metallurgists with financial backing from various sources as a start up to produce specialty gas atomized powders for the MIM industry. After demonstrating the capability to produce fine powder for MIM on a small pilot plant, they pursued construction of the dedicated, engineered, 22,000 square foot atomization facility in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, USA, where we are still located today.
Our Mission
is to develop, produce, and distribute metal powders and advanced materials that meet or exceed the most exacting specifications. We are dedicated to operational excellence, technological growth, environmental stewardship, and fostering strong relationships with our communities, employees, customers, and suppliers. Through collaborative partnerships, we aim to provide the materials that empower our customers to create durable, high performing and environmentally conscious products that improve lives and the world in which we live.
Ultra Fine Specialty Products
In 2008, UFPT was purchased by Carpenter Technology and renamed Carpenter Powder Products. The focus for the plant remained the production of fine metal powders by gas atomization, primarily for MIM. In June 2020, a private investment group (which includes the primary stakeholder of Novamet Specialty Products Corporation of Lebanon, Tennessee) purchased the Woonsocket operation from Carpenter, and renamed it Ultra Fine Specialty Products. All key production, technical and administrative staff were retained, including staff from the founding of UFPT.
Ultra Fine isAS9100/ISO 9001 certified. The focus on MIM remains the same, with additional focus and expertise in powders developed and produced for binder jet AM, electronic and magnetic requirements, and thermal spray/laser bed fusion applications, among others.
Ultra Fine is registered to ISO 9001 and AS9100 and was re-certified in 2024.

Ultra Fine Delivers Precision Metal Powders for Specialized Applications
A wide range of alloys are atomized regularly by Ultra Fine, using high pressure argon and nitrogen gases, creating alloys from copper through cobalt/nickel superalloys, and many iron-based alloys from stainless to low alloy steels.
Ultra Fine employs a unique inert gas atomization design and techniques to efficiently produce high quality, spherical powders with very tightly controlled chemistry and particle sizes that make it uniquely specially qualified for highly specific applications. A wide range of tight particle size cuts can be made as required using technologically advanced air classification and/or screening processes.
We strive to provide quality, experienced technical support, on time deliveries and the shortest possible lead times. The aim of Ultra Fine is to serve our customers and be a supplier of high-quality specialty metal powders in a responsive, flexible, efficient, and economical way to support our customer’s most demanding needs and applications.
