July 2008 (Seattle, WA) – Modumetal, a pioneering company with breakthrough technology in the area of advanced nanolaminated steels and composites, announced today that it has been selected under competitive bid to manufacture discrete metal parts for the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). This effort follows Modumetal’s successful Phase I demonstration of its low-cost, high performance part manufacturing capability.
This multi-year contract is focused on the delivery of discrete land vehicle and propulsion system parts to the U.S. military at costs equivalent to or less than the conventional composite and alloy systems.
April 2008 (Seattle, WA) - Lt. General Carol Mutter, USMC, (ret), an experienced acquisition professional, has joined the Board of Directors of Modumetal, a Seattle, Washington-based advanced composite alloy firm that represents a potential revolution in metals performance and manufacturing.
