Expansion Opportunity Kittyhawk has recently expanded its footprint with a new Garden Grove facility and plans for additional HIP capacity, signaling a growing demand for heat treatment and larger vessel capabilities beyond current West Coast operations.

Strategic Acquisition Acquisition by Machine Sciences, backed by Trive Capital, may unlock cross-sell opportunities to MSC’s aerospace and defense customers, expanding Kittyhawk’s access to a broader enterprise customer base and potential joint solutions.

Largest Vessel Advantage With some of the largest HIP vessels in North America and a history of acquiring Stack HIP assets, there is a clear value proposition for high-volume, high-precision heat treatment of mission-critical components in aerospace and defense programs.

Quality & Compliance AS9100 and NADCAP certifications, ITAR/EAR compliance, and CLASS 07 FFL status position Kittyhawk as a trusted partner for regulated programs, enabling upsell into defense and high-reliability sectors requiring stringent quality controls.

Industry Engagement Active participation in industry events such as TITANIUM USA and RAPID + TCT, combined with recognized leadership in commercial heat treating, presents networking and lead-generation channels to capture new programs in aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, and industrial sectors.
