Humanity is constantly challenging the extremes and engineers are in a race to push the envelope of materials performance.

Applying materials in extreme environments, be it in high-temperature rocket engines, in the human body or in the mining industry presents tremendous opportunities but also challenges.

AMPAM brings together multi-disciplinary expertise ranging from the manufacture of ultra-high temperature composite materials, the development of medical devices for the human body, to specialised testing, such as fire and wear testing.
