Tekna secures CA$1.6 million order for titanium powder from US aerospace defence supplier
Tekna Holding ASA, based in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, has announced that it has received an order valued at CA $1.6 million for high-performance titanium powder for use in Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) Additive Manufacturing.
The order is reported to represent a fivefold increase in monthly volume from an existing customer, a Tier-1 supplier to the US aerospace and defence industry. This expanded volume applies to deliveries scheduled for the second half of 2025 and reflects the customer’s growing demand for Tekna’s premium Ti64 titanium powder, particularly in the high-value prime particle size range.
“We are proud to deepen our relationship with a key aerospace and defence partner,” said Claude Jean, Chief Executive Officer of Tekna. “This expanded order underscores the trust our customers place in the consistency and quality of our materials for mission-critical applications.”
