More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Coinage, aerospace, and chemicals might not be the currency of Westaim's future. Historically, the three account for almost all sales, but Westaim says it is focusing on commercializing new technologies for fighting infection (Westaim Biomedical), surface engineering (Surface Engineered Products; anti-coking products for ethylene producers), and flat panel displays (iFire Technology). The company's coinage unit (50% of sales) makes blanks for countries worldwide. Its aerospace group (Westaim Ambeon) makes thermal spray powders and nickle-based honeycombs used in jet engines. Westaim, which has sold its chemicals unit, holds a minority stake in e-business software developer Savvion.
