Titomic announces new teaming agreement with REPKON USA to develop cold spray additive manufacturing applications.
Huntsville, AL – Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT), the world’s leading provider of cold spray additive manufacturing solutions using its proprietary Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ technology, has signed a teaming agreement with REPKON USA, a specialist in advanced metal and defence manufacturing.
Titomic and Repkon Group have a long-standing relationship. In 2021 Repkon invested AUD 2.5 million in Titomic. This teaming agreement replaces the previously agreed Turkish joint venture agreement and establishes a United States framework to leverage Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ cold spray technology in REPKON USA’s existing and fast-growing product lines.
The Titomic and REPKON USA teams will engage in joint research, development, and testing of Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ cold spray applications in cannon barrels, gun barrels, and warheads. These applications will demonstrate the advantages that Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ can bring to the defense and aerospace market space in support of the U.S. Government, with potential for other applications.
“Our partnership with REPKON USA represents more than collaboration – it represents a shared commitment to fundamentally transform how we advance and sustain defense manufacturing and is a more effective way to combine our leading respective technologies than the previously announced joint venture,” With Titomic Kinetic Fusion™, we bring a technology that restores, enhances, and builds critical assets faster, smarter, and with greater resilience.”
Jim Simpson, CEO & Managing Director of Titomic
“We are excited to work with the REPKON USA team and begin research and development activities at our facility in Huntsville, Alabama. We are focused on delivering field-ready solutions that ensure mission readiness, extend asset life, and strengthen the U.S. allied industrial base with next-generation manufacturing capability.”
Dr. Patricia Dare, President of Titomic USA
Through this partnership, Titomic will also work with REPKON USA to leverage Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ for repair of assets in the field. This will bring equipment back to the original form, fit, and function and provide the warfighter with the necessary capability in a significantly reduced timeframe and within the battlefield and/or training environment.
In addition to repairs, the team will partner on coatings of the REPKON USA barrels to provide increased performance to enable a competitive advantage in this market moving forward.President of REPKON USA, Bryan Van Brunt
This partnership reinforces Titomic’s position as a leader in advanced metal manufacturing, coatings, and repair technologies, furthering its commitment to providing timely and innovative solutions to defense and aerospace customers worldwide, and REPKON USA’s continued push to modernize manufacturing techniques in the USA and within the allied defense industrial base.
