Around 1977, Hitachi Chemical began exporting powdered metal products to the U.S. market. As the business increased, it became apparent that local production facilities would be required to provide adequate service to North American customers. With that goal in mind, Hitachi Powdered Metals began a feasibility study for a U.S. plant in 1986.

In April 1987, thirty acres of land were acquired in Greensburg, Indiana, and Sintering Technologies, Inc. was formed. At the time, Sintering Technologies, Inc. was a joint venture between Hitachi Powdered Metals of Matsudo, Japan; Cummins Engine Company of Columbus, Indiana; and Hitachi Metals America of Purchase, New York. Hitachi Powdered Metals' participation in Sintering Technologies, Inc. was the result of a need for local production capability for products which various U.S. customers, including Cummins Engine Company, were importing from Japan. Cummins' desire was for improved access to the advances in powdered metal technology. The supplier/customer relationship provided the forum for initial discussion in 1986.

On April 1, 2012, Sintering Technologies, Inc. changed its name to Hitachi Powdered Metals (USA).

On April 28, 2020, Hitachi Chemical was purchased by Showa Denko. On October 1, 2020, Hitachi Powdered Metals (USA) changed its name to Showa Denko Materials Powdered Metals (USA), Inc.

On January 1, 2023, Showa Denko Materials Powdered Metals (USA), Inc. changed its name to Resonac Powdered Metals America, Inc.
