About EPoS Technologies

EPoS Technologies SA, based in Villaz-St-Pierre in the canton of Fribourg, develops and manufactures high-performance metal components using Electro-Sinter-Forging (ESF), a patented process that combines pressing and sintering in a single step and achieves complete sintering in under one second. Compared to conventional press-and-sinter processes, the technology is faster, more energy-efficient and more resource-friendly. The company produces welding and brazing electrodes as well as thermal management components from CuW copper-tungsten alloys, pure tungsten, M-alloys and its own materials Synaptite G1 and G2, which are positioned as cost-effective alternatives to CuW and to W and M alloys respectively. Its customer industries include aerospace, electronics, mobility and welding technology. The company serves its customers in German, English, French, Italian and Spanish and delivers to the EU.
