Advanced Materials & High-Temperature Process Engineering
AMEPCO develops next-generation boron carbide and high-purity Propellant Additives, and helps industry solve complex thermal and process challenges with a manufacturer-independent, system-wide approach.
01
Our Mission
Engineering materials and processes that perform when it matters
AMEPCO combines deep materials science with real-world plant expertise to develop advanced powders and to optimize demanding thermal processes. We look beyond isolated unit operations—because the root cause of a production issue often starts upstream, in raw materials, mixing, compaction, or the thermal process.
02
