Carpenter Technology Corp. will expand its Dynamet titanium wire and bar facility in Clearwater, FL. A wholly-owned subsidiary, Dynamet produces titanium wire feedstock for the aerospace fastener industry.
 

“This investment will include construction of a new building and installation of proprietary manufacturing facilities to produce close tolerance, high performance wire for manufacturing titanium aerospace fasteners,” said William Kent, VP of Dynamet & CPP.

“The capacity increase will address our customers’ increasing demand for titanium aerospace fastener wire, which is projected to escalate with the introduction of new airframes and the increase in wide-body aircraft production during the next decade.”
 

The facility expansion is expected to cost in excess of $5M.  ©2010 GlobalFastenerNews.com
