Huntsville: A New Home for Innovation!

Guess what, ChumCity? Huntsville just got even cooler! Titomic, a major player in advanced metal additive manufacturing, isn't just opening a facility here - they're making us their GLOBAL headquarters!

Rocket City Ready for Launch

Why Huntsville? They're saying it's all about being close to their U.S. customers in the aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. Think Boeing and Airbus, folks! CEO Jim Simpson says this move will help them work more closely and support customer needs.

Advanced Tech in Our Backyard

Titomic uses something called Titomic Kinetic Fusion - it’s basically supersonic metal bonding! It's a cold spray technology that uses high-pressure gas to shoot metal powders together, creating strong bonds without melting. Pretty wild, right?

What's the Big Deal?

This tech allows for the creation and repair of structural components with materials that are tough to handle with traditional methods. Plus, because it doesn't use heat, it avoids warping and lets them bond different metals together!

Making Things Here in the USA

The Huntsville facility can produce or repair metal parts up to 10 feet long, and super fast, too! It's all about boosting U.S. manufacturing capabilities, cutting down on imported parts, and producing stuff right where it’s needed.

Location, Location, Location!

Find them along Alabama 20/I-565, in a former Pratt & Whitney building, right by Cowin Equipment and across from Redstone Harley-Davidson. Production, demos, and R&D – it's all happening here!

Cutting-Edge Manufacturing

Titomic's tech is a game-changer, moving away from traditional methods where you cut material away. Their process deposits metal exactly where it's needed, reducing waste – especially important when using expensive materials like titanium.

Repair and Revive

It's also perfect for repairing and coating worn surfaces when welding or heat-based methods just won't cut it. Huntsville, get ready for some serious innovation!
