Boeing Deal Could Increase Casting Opportunities for ATI Allegheny Technologies Inc.,
Pittsburgh, announced it has extended its supply agreement with the Boeing Co., Chicago, a deal which is expected to provide an opportunity for greater use of ATI’s cast titanium products. T e long-term contract will extend through Dec. 31, 2018. T e agreement is focused on value-added titanium mill products, but ATI said opportunities also would emerge for castings and forgings. “T e extension agreement…
recognizes today’s supply chain requirement to provide more value- added titanium products,” said Rich Harshman, ATI’s chairman, president and chief executive offi cer. “ATI’s strategic investments and acquisitions over the past several years provide the capacity and capability to produce titanium products from raw material to value-added mill products, as well
as highly engineered and technically complex forgings and castings. ATI is well positioned to benefi t from the expected unprecedented growth in Boeing’s build rates during the years of this agreement.” ATI acquired Ladish Co. Inc.,
