Huntsville, Alabama – Titomic Expands Operations with New Global Headquarters
Titomic Limited has officially opened a new manufacturing facility in Huntsville, Alabama, which will serve as the company’s global headquarters. This facility is designed to cater to both commercial and defense needs, with a particular focus on cold spray additive manufacturing technology, which is primarily used in the oil and gas, defense, and aerospace industries.
The new manufacturing plant covers a substantial area of 59,000 square feet and enhances Titomic’s production capabilities significantly. This location will be unique in that all of Titomic’s products will be manufactured exclusively at this site. In addition to production, the facility is equipped for live equipment demonstrations and will act as a regional training and support center for customers.
The grand opening event featured a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony, which was attended by various community leaders, government officials, and representatives from the defense and aerospace sectors. Key stakeholders noted the crucial role of local partnerships in establishing this facility and the potential benefits it would bring to the community and the industry.
Andy Whitt, from First National Bank, played a significant role in assisting Titomic in finding the appropriate facility tailored to meet the company’s needs. Patricia Dare, president of Titomic USA, highlighted the importance of the new headquarters in fulfilling customer demands and expectations, reinforcing the company’s commitment to high-quality manufacturing.
Jim Simpson, CEO of Titomic, described the opening of the Huntsville facility as a critical launchpad for advancing manufacturing technologies in the United States. The site is expected to produce essential components including titanium pressure vessels, domes, and launcher coatings, all vital for defense and aerospace applications. These capabilities are aligned with the Department of Defense’s objectives regarding supply chain resilience and rapid operational readiness.
Innovate Alabama has played an instrumental role in supporting Titomic by providing over $12 million in loan guarantees and assistance through the SSBCI program.

Representatives from Innovate Alabama expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with Titomic, noting the significant potential impact on local employment opportunities and economic growth in the Huntsville area. Titomic’s expansion comes in response to an increasing interest from the defense sector for its innovative technology, which has already seen applications in various military efforts, including systems delivered to assist Ukraine.
Huntsville has emerged as a crucial hub for aerospace and defense, housing facilities for major industry players such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. This strategic location, coupled with recent investments by the U.S. Department of Defense in additive manufacturing technologies, emphasizes the relevance of Titomic’s capabilities to national security initiatives.
