Plansee Group has successively acquired business interests in the Chilean molybdenum and rhenium producer Molymet. Today, the Plansee Group is divided into three divisions - Plansee High Performance Materials, Ceratizit Hard Metals & Tools and Global Tungsten & Powders - and holds interests in one company, which is Molymet. The Group operates 49 production sites worldwide on three continents and sales offices in 50 countries. Corporate structure Plansee Holding AG maintains the following divisions and shareholdings: Plansee High Performance Materials Plansee High Performance Materials develops and produces semi-finished products and components made from molybdenum, tungsten as well as tungsten-based heavy metal alloys. These metals are required in applications such as the coating industry, energy transmission, the lighting industry, high-temperature furnace construction, semi-conductor production, the electronics industry and medical technology. These metals are used where conventional metals reach their physical limits. In September 2017, Plansee founded the material search platform Matmatch. The platform allows material experts or buyers worldwide to learn about more than 80,000 known materials and contact potential suppliers. Ceratizit Hard Metals & Tools Ceratizit S.A. is a public limited company based in Mamer, Luxembourg – a company in which Plansee Holding AG holds a 50 percent stake. Ceratizit develops and produces tools for machining and wear parts for industrial production from hard metal and other hard materials. After a series of smaller acquisitions of solid carbide tool manufacturers, Ceratizit acquired the Komet Group in October 2017, a manufacturer of precision tools. Global Tungsten & Powders Global Tungsten & Powders (GTP), headquartered in the USA, is one of the leading producers of tungsten powder. Tungsten ore concentrates are processed into ammonium paratungstate (APT) and then into tungsten metal powder, tungsten carbide and ready-to-press powders. GTP has a subsidiary, Bruntál (Czech Republic), and was integrated into the Plansee Group on 1 August 2008 following approval by the antitrust authority, becoming the fourth division at that time. On 12 June 2015, GTP acquired Tikomet in Finland, a company specialised in the recycling of hard metal scrap. The division PMG Sinterformteile was sold in 2011. Holding functions of the Plansee Group are pooled in Plansee Group Service GmbH, based in Breitenwang/Reutte. Molymet The Plansee Group holds a 20 percent stake in the publicly traded Molibdenos y Metalas S.A. (Molymet for short), based in Santiago de Chile.
