Plansee Group operates one of the world's leading platforms for powder-metallurgical processing of molybdenum and tungsten. Founded in 1921 and headquartered in Reutte, Austria, the company generates €2.25 billion in annual sales with over 10,890 employees across 40 production sites worldwide.
The group comprises two main business divisions. Plansee produces metallic materials from molybdenum and tungsten for applications where conventional metals cannot perform - serving industries from electronics and smartphones to CT scanners and electric vehicle manufacturing. Ceratizit manufactures carbide-based tooling for machining and production environments, including specialized tools for diaper manufacturing and high-tech industrial applications.
Plansee Group emphasizes resource efficiency across its operations. The company sources 87% of its tungsten from recycling and powers 97% of its electricity consumption from renewable sources. This vertically integrated structure, supported by centralised services in human resources, information technology, procurement, finance and controlling, underpins its global manufacturing footprint and capacity to serve diverse industrial sectors.
