Amaero and Perryman Forge Three-Year Titanium Supply Agreement to Strengthen US Manufacturing

Strategic partnership aims to secure a reliable domestic feedstock supply for additive manufacturing

Three-Year Supply Agreement with Titanium Feedstock Focus
Amaero International has entered into a crucial three-year supply agreement with The Perryman Company for US-melt and forged titanium alloy bar feedstock. This deal ensures that Perryman will be Amaero’s primary and preferred supplier of high-quality titanium bars, which will be used in the atomization process to produce premium spherical powders for advanced additive manufacturing. The agreement is vital as it helps secure a domestic supply of the materials needed for the production of titanium parts used in industries such as aerospace, defense, and other high-tech sectors.

The contract sets a baseline price for 2025, with annual price increases based on a fixed percentage and a variable surcharge tied to market fluctuations in the Ti64 price index. The agreement establishes a minimum annual order volume of 45 metric tonnes for CY2025 and 100 metric tonnes for CY2026 and CY2027, with no maximum volume cap. This flexibility allows Amaero to scale up production to meet increasing demand, furthering its goal of expanding its additive manufacturing capabilities.

Strategic Move to Strengthen the US Domestic Supply Chain
Hank J. Holland, Chairman and CEO of Amaero, highlighted the significance of this deal as a key milestone in the company’s broader strategy to rebuild a domestic supply chain for titanium materials. According to Holland, the US has faced severe manufacturing vulnerabilities due to decades of offshoring, which has resulted in the loss of approximately 40% of the country’s manufacturing workforce. This partnership with Perryman is seen as an essential step in revitalizing the US domestic manufacturing ecosystem, particularly for additive manufacturing, which relies heavily on a stable supply of high-quality titanium feedstock.

Holland also emphasized the national security implications of strengthening the US supply chain for critical materials. With the world’s increasing reliance on advanced manufacturing technologies, ensuring access to reliable, US-sourced titanium feedstock is vital for economic prosperity and resilience in key industries, including aerospace and defense.

Investment in US Domestic Atomization Capacity
Amaero has made bold investments to establish the largest US domestic atomization capacity for C103, refractory, and titanium alloy powders. This expansion is part of a broader initiative to vertically integrate its titanium powder production, which supports the company’s long-term goal of becoming the premier supplier of titanium powders for additive manufacturing. The partnership with Perryman enables Amaero to scale up its operations while relying on a trusted domestic source of titanium bars, an essential raw material for its atomization process.
