Continuum Powders is coming off the back of a great quarter and a record shipment month when CEO Rob Higby takes our call.
He apologises if there are bags under his eyes – he and the team were taping up boxes of product up until 11.30pm the night before as the end of Q2 2025 approached – and then regales TCT in the why to Continuum’s what.
Higby sets the scene of a typical metal material lifecycle. Mined from the earth in some far-away land, processed via an energy-intensive atomisation method, shipped to a manufacturer, deployed in a building or coating process, and eventually scrapped. It doesn’t have to be this way.
“What distinctly separates Continuum,” Higby says, “is we buy from the top quality
scrap producers – Airbus, Siemens Energy, Apple – and the rest of the world buys from very select retail locations, which are mining companies in Kazakhstan, China and Russia.”
