en.Wedoany.com Reported - Amaero announced that it has completed the installation and commissioning of new atomizers at its additive manufacturing powder plant in Tennessee, USA, increasing its annual production capacity for refractory alloy and titanium alloy powders to approximately 200 tons and 480 tons, respectively. The company stated that this makes it the largest domestic producer of spherical refractory alloy and titanium alloy powders in the United States.
According to Amaero, among the newly installed atomizers, one is dedicated to refractory alloy production, and two are used for titanium alloy production. This capacity expansion aims to meet the demands of the defense, space, aerospace, nuclear energy, and medical industry manufacturing sectors.
Following a safety incident in May, the company is currently collaborating with Jensen Hughes, an engineering consulting firm specializing in safety and risk-based engineering, to conduct a comprehensive review of its processes, systems, and facility safety measures. Amaero stated that planned rectifications and improvements are underway, and titanium powder production is expected to resume in July. Amaero Chairman and CEO Hank Holland said that the company has prioritized safety while working to resume production, and that he and the team are working seven days a week to restart production as quickly as possible without compromising safety.
The company also announced that its three-year capital investment plan has been completed on time and within budget, with a total investment of approximately A$72 million. Amaero stated that this investment solidifies its position in powder production and the manufacturing of powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP) near-net-shape components. Future growth projects are still progressing, including an argon gas recovery plant scheduled to begin operations in the first quarter of 2027, and a fourth atomizer expected to be commissioned by June 2027.
Amaero also confirmed that it has completed its re-registration to the United States ahead of schedule. The company stated that this move supports its plans for a potential initial public offering in the US by the end of 2026 or early 2027, depending on market conditions. Holland noted that shareholder support for this move reflects the company's role in the domestic manufacturing supply chain, and that the company's investment strategy aims to support future manufacturing growth opportunities. He believes that Amaero's established production capacity and scale enable it to integrate and co-locate adjacent manufacturing processes, thereby forming a more resilient and flexible defense industrial base.
