Where We Came From

Advanced Metalworking Practices, LLC, (AMP) was founded in 1984 BY Dr. Kishor M. Kulkarni, who saw an opportunity to create feedstock for the relatively new area of metal injection molding (MIM) technology. In 1988, after the development of much proprietary technology in the formulation of MIM feedstocks, AMP started commercial production of high quality, ready-to-use feedstock. Since then, AMP has been committed to innovation, growth, and constant improvement. We continually invest in the upgrading of our technology, facilities and equipment, as well as in the recruitment and training of well-qualified staff – with the ultimate goal of providing our customers with superior materials and services.
