Safe, sustainable metallurgical solutions for aviation and space
Titanium. Stainless. Nickel alloys. For 70 years, we’ve delivered aerospacegrade alloys, seamless tubes, and engineering expertise that elevates safety, performance, and sustainability across aviation and space. Trusted by the world’s leading aircraft OEMs and modern space pioneers, our metallurgical solutions are built for the most demanding environments.
Fully certified value chain
From titanium and stainless steel to high-alloyed tubing, we deliver optimized, fully certified precision tubing solutions for the unique demands of aerospace applications. Manufactured in a fully integrated value chain – from our 250-strong R&D team and melt (80% recycled steel) to final tube – our materials ensure full traceability, from the furnace to the component used in your spacecraft.
Solving tough challenges with you
When needed, our materials experts bring space-grade ingenuity to solving complex, out-of-the-box challenges, from precision forming to tight-radius bending for spacecraft heat exchangers, hydrogen systems, and beyond. We thrive on finding the best solution together with you!

Titanium – a longtime core material
For years, we’ve supplied titanium tubing to leading aircraft OEMs for critical applications. Titanium Grade 9, for example, combines low weight with excellent fatigue resistance, insulation properties and corrosion resistance. Customers tell us they value our integrated production, responsible sourcing of sponge material and focus on consistency, precision, and full traceability.
NADCAP, AS9100:D and ISO 9001:215
We provide specialized services supporting hydraulic and fuel systems, control lines, structural components, and spacecraft systems – where reliability, strength, and low weight are critical. Backed by global manufacturing, tubing (AS9100:D and ISO 9001:2015), NADCAP certification, Green Mill status, and a fully integrated supply chain, we help you develop lighter, stronger, and more efficient aerospace and space systems – while enabling responsible, sustainable production.
Let's shape the future of aerospace together!
What’s next in your aerospace program? With a global team of 250 researchers specializing in metals and advanced materials, we are constantly looking around the corner to see what’s next. A case in point is our development of Alleima® 21-6-9 Aerospace Tubing in a higher-quality seamless version (no welds!) – previously considered impossible.
Supply chain security
During the global pandemic – and continuing through today’s geopolitical uncertainty – we’ve made significant advances in strengthening and “de-risking” our supply chains. With approved suppliers, trusted distributors and qualified backup options in place, we are well prepared to manage potential disruptions, including geopolitical challenges.
