At The Forefront of Advanced Material Science & Technology Synthesis, Fabrication and Sale of High Performance Specialty Components
Surmet Corporation Founded in 1982 On A Simple Business Premise: “Currently Used Materials Are Not Adequate To Meet The Challenges of Tomorrow’s Machines and Systems”
Corporate Mission To Provide Working Solutions that Translate into Significant Performance Advantage at a Reasonable Cost We are an Advanced Materials Solutions company. We invent solutions to your material related problems and we take Laboratory Inventions to the Production Floor
Business Philosophy We Clearly Understand and Meet The Needs of Customers. • We have total Commitment to Customers’ success • We Deliver unique and measurable performance advantage to customers • We Provide Solutions based on Advanced materials and Cost effective manufacturing process innovations At Surmet, we are at the Forefront of Advanced Material Science &Technology. We Synthesize, Fabricate and Sell High Performance Specialty Components
Our Legacy Business We developed innovative process and became the leading Manufacturer of Advanced Electrostatic Clamps to hold Silicon Wafers for Semi conductor Industry. These clamps are still the global standard without competition We also invented and became the leading supplier of Coated (UHP Silicon) machine Components for Micro-chip Processing Chambers. Contamination control, a constant ongoing concern, is the objective here. We also invented and developed a process to deposited thick (over one hundred microns thick) Amorphous Silicon surfacing for Space Mirror Applications. This silicon is amenable to single point diamond turning.
Surmet in 2002/2003 Acquired ALON® Optical Ceramics Technology from Raytheon 2002 Acquired Technical Ceramics Facilities from MA-COM 2003 (Buffalo, NY) Formerly Advanced Refractory Technologies (ART) Buffalo Acquired Precise Surface Finishing Established Surmet Precision Optics, December 2003 (Murrieta, CA)
Corporate Divestiture In order to focus on Optical Ceramics development, we executed a successful Corporate Divestiture in 2007 We sold our highly profitable and thriving Semiconductor Division with thirty ex-employees to Publicly traded Entegris Inc. The divested Business Unit is flourishing with the new owners and Ours is the most Profitable Division in 2010 & 2011 for the acquirer.
ALON® Armor which is more Effective than Glass Laminates at Half the weight. ALON® is the Top Choice for Light Weight Transparent Armor Applications. It is ready for large scale insertion in defense and civilian systems. We are also in ALON & Spinel IR precision Optics business (Domes & Reconnaissance Windows) We are also in Al N Thermal Management Products Business Our current Market Focus
Surmet’s Specialty Optical Ceramics • Surmet’s Specialty Optical Ceramics have Multi Industry Applications Potential, such as Military, Bio-medical, Chemical, Energy & Lighting, Semi-conductor among others. • For lightweight poly crystalline Transparent ceramic Armor applications ALON® is the leading candidate. There are many advantages : • Low Cost, High Quality ALON® Powder in tonnage quantities are synthesized at Surmet. • Ultra high purity ALON powder is manufactured in-house using a robust and cost effective manufacturing process
ALON and Spinel Are Made By Conventional Powder Processing Techniques Optical Fabrication Powder Forming Heat Treatment ALON is Being Produced By The Metric Ton
ALON and Spinel Tri-Mode Seeker Domes for Joint Air to Ground Missile ALON Spinel JAGM Tri-Mode Seeker • Tri-Mode Seeker dome requires transmission at 1.06um, 3-5um, RF • Baseline dome is monolithic ALON or Spinel • - Surmet can produce both materials • Some fraction of domes require embedded metallic grids • - Surmet is only company with mature technology to produce gridded domes Surmet’s ALON and Spinel domes have met stringent ppm level homogeneity requirement for JAGM
