Advanced Engineered Materials (AEM Canada)

About AEM

Advanced Engineered Materials (AEM) is a manufacturer of ultra-pure aluminium derivatives based in Québec, Canada. The company produces alumina powders (SupALOX™) with purities from 99.9 % (3N) to 99.999 % (5N), alumina pucks of the SupPuck series and aluminium chlorides. These are based on the patented CLCP process (Chlorine Leach Crystallization Purification), which was developed at the Technical Development Centre in Montreal and is operated exclusively with electricity. The production plant in Cap-Chat is powered entirely by hydroelectric power, thereby avoiding Scope-1 emissions and virtually eliminating Scope-2 emissions when operated with renewable electricity. The alumina products are used in the ceramics industry, for single-crystal sapphire growth (Kyropoulos and Verneuil methods) and for battery applications. Powders and slurries can be custom processed by milling and compaction; distribution is worldwide via partners in UK/Ireland, France, South Korea, China and India.
