About Howmet Aerospace

Howmet Aerospace Inc. is a manufacturer of technically demanding metal products for the aerospace, defense and commercial transportation industries. The product portfolio comprises four segments: Engine Components (vanes, blades and precision castings for engines), Aerospace Structures (sheet, plate and forgings), Fastening Systems (fasteners and tools) and Forged Wheels (forged Alcoa aluminum wheels). In addition, the company supplies titanium products in the form of ingot, bloom, billet, plate and sheet, among others in the alloys Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6Al-4V ELI, Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo and Ti-6Al-6V-2Sn. Manufacturing takes place in product-segment-specific plants, including in Germany the Aichach and Hildesheim sites (Fastening Systems) and Bestwig (Engineered Structures); engine components and forged wheels are manufactured in Székesfehérvár/Köfém (Hungary). The company was founded in 2020 through a spin-off from Arconic/Alcoa as a Delaware Corporation; it is managed from Pittsburgh (USA), with the Registered Office in Wilmington, Delaware. Certifications according to ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001 demonstrate environmental, occupational safety and energy management across the sites.
