Carpenter Technology announced that it will construct a new
400,000-square-foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in response to
strong customer demand for premium products primarily in the fast-growing
aerospace and energy industries. The new facility, which is expected to be
operational in approximately 30 months, will ultimately be capable of producing
approximately 27,000 tons per year of additional premium product. It will
include remelting, forge and associated finishing and testing capabilities.
The facility will be built on one of several 200-acre
greenfield sites currently under consideration and will cost approximately $500
million. The investment will enable Carpenter to support the increased demand
related to the Latrobe (pending), Amega West and Oilfield Alloys acquisitions. It
will also support increased demand expected from the sales of new technologies the
company plans to commercialize over the coming years.
