Complimentary technological capabilities allow customers to achieve higher

quality, greener, more sustainable part production with no compromise in

quality.

Fremont, CA & Sherbrooke, QC, June 22, 2022: Uniformity Labs, producer of

engineered materials for advanced manufacturing, and Tekna (OSE: TEKNA), the

world-leading provider of advanced materials to industry, signed an agreement

where Tekna will supply Ti64 5/25 and Ti64 45/105 to Uniformity to produce its

highly advanced titanium powders. This agreement will make available a critical

North American supply source for Uniformity and increase Tekna's output capacity

and efficiency.

Greener, more sustainable materials

The collaboration enables Tekna to optimize the use of its production yield

which Uniformity will process to produce its advanced titanium powder for LPBF.

Uniformity's technology helps customers realize substantial quality and

efficiency improvements in additive and conventional manufacturing at scale.

Their engineered powders and processes enable faster production of repeatable

parts at higher density with no compromise in quality. Tekna powder atomization

technology uses hydro-energy, and all process gasses are recycled in closed

loops, achieving greener production. Together the companies will help industrial

customers produce greener, more sustainable parts.

Furthermore, this supply agreement leverages both companies' complementary offer

to the industry and clears the way to a growing collaboration between the two

leaders.

"We're excited to collaborate with Tekna for the supply of highest quality

titanium powders for LPBF", said Adam Hopkins, founder, and CEO of Uniformity

Labs. "This agreement opens a critical North American material resource for us.

The complementary nature of our businesses produces an economic benefit for our

customers who gain through higher printer throughput and repeatability, and a

supply chain security benefit from the use of materials produced entirely in

North America."

"We are extremely proud that Uniformity Labs has selected us to supply titanium

powders," said Luc Dionne, CEO of Tekna. "This is a testament to Tekna's supply

reliability and reaffirms that our product quality matches with a wide range of

industry requirements."
