Aerospace & defense expansion Howco actively expanded its aerospace presence with debuts at Farnborough and Space Tech Expo, signaling growing opportunities to cross-sell high-performance alloys and precision machined components to OEMs, tier suppliers, and defense contractors.

Additive manufacturing growth The strategic partnership and investment in metal 3D printing capabilities (SLM Solutions) indicate a readiness to supply advanced AM materials and finished components, presenting upsell chances for customers pursuing lightweight, complex geometries and rapid prototyping.

Full turnkey value Howco offers turnkey supply chain solutions including heat treatment, testing, assembly, pressure testing, and additive manufacturing, allowing sales teams to position integrated procurement packages to oil & gas, chemical processing, energy, and aerospace clients seeking supplier consolidation.

Global reach, niche materials With 10 locations across 6 countries and extensive inventories of low alloy steels, nickel and super alloys, stainless, and duplex materials, there are clear cross-border upsell opportunities to multinational operators and projects with long supply chains and stringent traceability needs.

Strategic partnerships & growth Recent leadership appointments and participation in industry events, plus joint ventures and partnerships (historically with Sintavia and SLM Solutions), suggest proactive channels for collaboration with OEMs and end users seeking advanced materials, process capabilities, and joint development opportunities.
