Titomic and Amaero establish exclusive cold spray AM powder supply
Amaero Ltd, McDonald, Tennessee, USA, has entered into a five-year supply agreement with Titomic Limited, based in Brisbane, Australia. The collaboration will make Amaero the exclusive supplier of refractory and titanium alloy powders for Titomic’s cold spray Additive Manufacturing technology.
“For Titomic, this partnership gives us the confidence that the powders we use for qualification and development will be the same powders that are available for production, backed by domestic capacity to scale,” stated Jim Simpson, Titomic’s CEO and Managing Director. “Amaero’s capabilities complement our own technology and position us to better support defense and aerospace customers with reliable, advanced manufacturing solutions.”
The agreement ensures that Amaero’s refractory and titanium alloy powders qualified in Titomic’s development programmes will be the same formulations offered for production, ensuring continuity and reliability. It will align Amaero’s powder production capabilities with Titomic’s growth in coatings, repair, and near-net-shape part manufacturing.
“Amaero is committed to aligning with partners who are leading the adoption of advanced manufacturing in the United States,” added Hank J. Holland, Amaero Chairman and CEO. “Titomic has built a reputation as a pioneer in cold spray and is well positioned to accelerate adoption across defense and aerospace markets. This agreement reflects our shared vision of providing resilient, scalable, and competitive material solutions to customers where supply chain assurance is paramount.”
The announcement follows the news that, after raising approximately $32.3 million, Amaero is set to install a fourth atomiser at its powder production facility, along with initiatives to lower costs and ensure long-term supply chain resilience.
