Refractory metals and composites for extreme-performance applications
Plansee manufactures molybdenum, tungsten, and composite materials for industries where conventional metals fail—electronics, automotive, medical, aerospace. The tech stack reveals a traditional manufacturing operation: SAP ERP dominance, CAD/CAM tools (SolidWorks, NX, Mastercam), and quality-control methods (SPC, MSA, FMEA). Hiring is heavily weighted toward manufacturing (35 of 75 open roles) with mid-level positions leading, and active projects center on production optimization and new-product development—typical of a scaling materials manufacturer focused on process efficiency and capacity.
Plansee is a privately held, Vienna-headquartered manufacturer of high-performance refractory metals and composites, founded in 1921. The company operates 12 production sites across Europe, the USA, and Asia, serving customers in consumer electronics, automotive, medical technology, and aerospace. Core materials include molybdenum, tungsten, and metal-matrix composites produced through powder metallurgy and specialized extrusion processes. Sales reach across eight countries, with hiring concentrated in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, India, and China. The organization balances global operations with R&D-driven product development, addressing customer demand for materials that perform in extreme thermal and mechanical environments.
SAP S/4HANA and SAP R/3 for ERP; SolidWorks and Siemens NX for CAD; Mastercam and CNC for manufacturing control; SPC, MSA, and FMEA for quality assurance.
