The company is investing $22 million in Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) technology at its facility in Whitehall, Michigan. Alcoa expects that this investment will allow it to capture growing demand for advanced titanium, nickel and 3D-printed parts for the world’s best selling jet engines.
Ultimately this investment supports Alcoa’s strategy to build its value-add business for profitable growth and greater innovation in the aerospace market. Alcoa expects global aerospace sales growth in the range of 9% to 10% in 2015. At the same time this sales growth is expected to be driven by strong deliveries across the large commercial aircraft, regional jet and business jet segments. Separately, Alcoa Power and Propulsion is expected to generate $2.2 billion in revenues by 2016 as a result of its organic growth expansions.
Olivier Jarrault, Executive Vice President and Alcoa Group President, Engineered Products and Solutions, commented on the investment:
As aerospace growth soars, Alcoa continues to invest in the latest technologies, creating added capacity to capture fast-growing demand. Combined with our expansions in LaPorte, Indiana and Hampton, Virginia, and our growing 3D printing capabilities, this investment will give Alcoa the broadest capabilities to deliver high-quality titanium, nickel and 3D-printed parts for the world’s best-selling jet engines.
The city of Whitehall is further supporting Alcoa’s investment by approving a 12-year Industrial Facilities Tax Exemption valued at over $1 million.
This announcement comes at a good time for Alcoa, as shares are just above their 52-week lows and are in definite need of a boost.
However analysts might view this differently and potentially as a buy opportunity. The stock has a consensus analyst price target of ~$15.
