About CBMM

The history of CBMM is closely linked to the development of processing and applications of niobium. When the company was founded in the 1950s, there was neither a market nor the know-how to produce niobium. CBMM developed uses for niobium and created a market for it through a niobium technology development program and the promotion of its effectiveness, demonstrating the advantages that make niobium an unmatched element in its main applications.

More recently, CBMM has invested in advanced manufacturing and management processes, resulting in improved performance and expanded production capacity. The company’s success is a consequence of decades of investment and long-term strategic planning.
