(AMM) Weber eyeing bigger share of titanium forgings market

LOS ANGELES 29 July 2010 17:25

Weber Metals Inc., moving to gain control of its supply chain, is looking to boost its share of the aerospace titanium forgings market with a $30-million investment.

A Long Beach, Calif., facility will give Weber the ability to convert its ingots into billets in-house instead of having it done on the outside, as it does currently. It includes a 3,300-ton conversion press supplied by Wepuko Pahnke Engineering, Springfield, Ohio.

Weber Metals' expansion is one of only a few major capital expansion programs in titanium since the market downturn began about three years ago.
