Pittsburgh-based maker of engineered aerospace components and a global leader in metal additive manufacturing for titanium and turbine parts.
Howmet Aerospace Inc. is a U.S. manufacturer of advanced engineered metal products for the aerospace, defense and commercial transportation markets, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company was formed on April 1, 2020, when Arconic Inc. separated into two publicly traded firms: Arconic Inc. was renamed Howmet Aerospace, retaining the Engine Products, Fastening Systems, Engineered Structures and Forged Wheels businesses, while a new Arconic Corporation took the rolled-products operations. Howmet employs more than 24,000 people worldwide and trades on the NYSE under HWM.
Its flagship products include investment-cast nickel-superalloy turbine blades and vanes for high-pressure jet-engine sections, titanium and aluminum structural airframe components, aerospace fasteners and fastening systems, and forged aluminum wheels for commercial trucks. Relevant to advanced manufacturing and robotics-adjacent automation, Howmet is a recognized global leader in metal additive manufacturing, holding a top position in patent filings for titanium-alloy 3D printing in aerospace and defense per a 2024 GlobalData report. It has long-running additive collaborations, supplying 3D-printed titanium brackets installed on series-production Airbus A350 aircraft from 2017 and entering joint development with Lockheed Martin in 2018 on metal 3D printing and lightweight material systems for next-generation platforms. The company continues to expand high-precision manufacturing capacity, including investments at its Morristown, Tennessee facility supporting jet-engine programs. Howmet's additive and precision-manufacturing capabilities make it a relevant supplier of engineered components and 3D-printed metal parts to aerospace automation and advanced production.
