GRANKOM is a Russian manufacturer of spherical metal powders and alloy powders designed for industrial additive manufacturing. Founded in 2013 and based in Kulebaki, Nizhny Novgorod region, the company positions itself as a regional supplier focused on the domestic and CIS markets, differentiating through Russian manufacturing expertise and cost advantages.
The company's core product line includes AM-grade spherical metal powders and specialized alloy powders, produced using advanced powder manufacturing processes that claim to meet international AM standards. GRANKOM operates under the parent company Ruspolymet JSC, which is also a notable customer. In 2019, the company opened a powder metallurgy production facility backed by a 1.25 billion RUB investment.
GRANKOM targets metal additive manufacturing equipment manufacturers, service providers, and end users in aerospace, oil and gas, and machine building. The company reports doubling its revenue in 2020 and has claimed annual turnover doubling for three consecutive years, with production costs 2 to 2.5 times lower than traditional metal manufacturing methods. CEO Artyom Maximov has led the company since late 2017, having previously served as technical director.
The company's strategic moat rests on serving a regional market with potentially lower-cost metal powders, but it faces competitive pressure from global suppliers such as EOS and Sandvik, as well as regional rival Polema. GRANKOM's reliance on the Russian and CIS markets introduces exposure to geopolitical and economic volatility, and its IP position remains opaque, with no publicly listed patent numbers in global databases.
