Tekna secures $8M plasma atomiser order
Tekna Holding ASA, headquartered in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, has announced it has received an order valued at $8.1 million from a new US-based customer in the critical minerals industry. Tekna will supply an integrated solution consisting of two machines, enabling the company to manufacture high-purity powder using Tekna’s plasma technology.
The customer is a US-based materials and process development company, and the project is reported to be part of the US Critical Minerals Initiative.
“This order reflects the trust our customers place in Tekna’s plasma technology to power their most demanding materials development and production needs,” said Claude Jean, CEO of Tekna. “Securing a project of this scale in the US market, with the potential for further expansion, underscores the strength of our integrated plasma solutions and our commitment to supporting innovation in advanced materials.”
Tekna’s Inductively Coupled Plasma technology is intended to enable state-of-the-art research and manufacturing capabilities in advanced materials, offering various configurations to meet the needs of diverse industries and academic research sectors.
According to Tekna, the $8.1 million contract represents the equivalent of Tekna’s total 2025 revenue within the Systems business area and is a substantial contribution to the company’s target of delivering double-digit annual revenue growth towards 2030, with the company’s Materials business area also continuing to show significant momentum.
Tekna expects an accelerated delivery of the first machine by early 2027. The second machine is expected to be delivered in the second half of 2027. Discussions are ongoing regarding a possible third system for a different programme.
