CARLSBAD, Calif. (April 14, 2011) – PowerMetal Technologies once again continues to lead the way in the field of sporting goods nanotechnology with the critically and commercially successful debut of Abu Garcia’s Revo Premier Spinning Reel. Featuring a one-of-a-kind N
anoShield™ exoskeleton, engineered with PowerMetal’s Nanovate™ NP materials and technology, the world of high performance and competitive fishing has never seen a reel this lightweight yet sufficiently strong and durable.
PowerMetal innovation has enabled a stem up to 300% stronger than a comparable graphite stem, without the added weight of aluminum. PowerMetal advancements have also provided for a lightweight, corrosion resistant spool that is up to 50% lighter than a comparable aluminum spool. The revolutionary NanoShield™ technology on both body and spool makes for a high end reel offering the very best of both worlds and facilitating days of harder and longer fishing for the sport’s elite competitors and enthusiasts.

2011-02-16 15:12:02 – Advanced Composites Group Ltd. (ACG), part of Umeco Composites Structural Materials (UCSM) – a Division of Umeco plc, along with Integran Technologies Inc., a world leader in “Nanovate” nanometal materials, have won the JEC 2011 Composite Innovation Award – Equipment Category for Carbovar – Nanovate -NV surface composite tooling.
The innovation combines the hardness, durability and damage tolerance of the nanometal coating with the lightweight, low thermal mass of a carbon fibre composite mould tool to deliver a durable and cost effective solution. The Nanovate surface is an ultra-hard, nanocrystalline nickel/iron alloy coating that has a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) matching the CTE of the composite mould tool.

Carlsbad, Calif. (January 15, 2010) – With the release of the new PING iN and JAS Series putters, PowerMetal Technologies has once again shot to the forefront of golf equipment innovation. PING’s 10 iN Series putter models, as well as both models in the JAS Series, utilize PowerMetal’s groundbreaking Nanovate™ technology to house incredibly strong yet lightweight inserts capable of replicating the firm impact of steel.
In an increasingly competitive field of putter inserts, the first-of-its-kind Nanovate™ technology has separated PING from the pack. The 17-4 stainless-steel body of each iN model holds a polymer face insert plated with nano-nickel, and PING’s designers were able to save an impressive 40 grams from the weight of the putter face thanks to PowerMetal’s strong yet lightweight Nanometal Polymer technology. The resulting weight has been moved deeper into the head and along the perimeter to increase forgiveness and improve roll. Despite the weight lost in the face, the new insert technology allows the putter to retain both a sound and feel similar to steel, offering the best of both worlds.
“Unlike plastic polymer inserts, what we have been able to create with PING is an insert that offers both the feel and durability of a solid metal,” said Andrew Brutlag, PowerMetal Product Development Engineer. “Our Nanometal Polymer technology creates an outer shell about the insert that is incredibly dent, wear, and corrosion resistant.”

FARMINGDALE, NY – Lucas Glover, 29, captured his first PGA Tour major championship with the aid of innovative technology, including the PowerMetal Epic shaft. Following upon Trevor Immelman’s 2008 Masters victory, Glover became the second PGA tour professional to utilize PowerMetal advancements in nanofuse shaft construction to capture a major golf championship. In addition to using the Epic shaft on his fairway woods, Glover also earned the first major victory for square head drivers. With only a single PGA tour victory under his belt, Glover relied heavily upon a bag of pioneering golf technology to hold off late surges by PGA tour champions Phil Mickleson and David Duval. Having never made the cut at previous US Opens, Glover now holds one of golf’s most coveted crowns.
