Global Expansion Hitemco is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincotek, expanding its global reach and investment capabilities. This positions the company to pursue larger aerospace OEM and tier-one opportunities abroad and cross-sell enhanced surface treatments to a broader customer base.

Defense & Space Focus With NADCAP and nuclear QA certifications and a portfolio that includes jet engine components and rocket thruster parts, Hitemco serves military and government markets. This suggests sales potential with defense contractors and space programs seeking high-reliability surface coatings.

Aerospace Specialization Advanced diffusion and thermal spray coatings combined with in-house precision grinding, high-temperature vacuum furnaces, and a CATIA CAD engineering capability indicate strong credibility for complex, high-performance aerospace parts—ideal for OEMs requiring enhanced durability and performance.

Quality & Compliance Multiple quality accreditations (ISO 9001:2015, AS9100D:2016, NADCAP, NQA1) demonstrate a robust quality management framework. This can be a key differentiator when engaging large aerospace manufacturers that mandate stringent supplier standards.

Technical Capabilities In-house coating design (HVOF and plasma), CNC grinding, metallurgical lab, and space reentry and ballistic testing capabilities enable Hitemco to handle end-to-end surface treatment programs, creating opportunities to package turnkey surface solution offerings for current and prospective customers.
