Stainless Steel Press and Sinter

I need the same small metal part in volume, near net, without machining each one. Who presses and sinters it?

What it is

Compacting metal powder in a die and consolidating it below the melting point, then working it down. The standard production route for refractory metals whose melting points are too high for conventional casting.
