Pursuit Aerospace Expands with Larson Forgings Acquisition

Pursuit Aerospace

Acquisition Strengthens Titanium and Aluminum Forging Capabilities

Pursuit Aerospace has acquired Larson Forgings, a specialist in seamless rolled rings and titanium forgings, enhancing its aerospace portfolio. The deal broadens Pursuit’s expertise from precision and near-net shapes into expanded open-die forging and hybrid manufacturing processes.

The acquisition marks Pursuit’s 13th U.S. site, adding Larson’s Chicago facility to its global footprint, which includes operations in Mexico, Canada, the UK, and Tunisia. With Larson, Pursuit gains access to high-value titanium alloys such as 6Al-4V and 6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo, alongside aluminum grades like 2219, 2618, and 6061, all widely used in aerospace applications.

Expanding Global Aerospace Supply Chains

The acquisition strengthens Pursuit Aerospace’s position in global aerospace supply chains. Larson’s seamless rolled rings and titanium forging capabilities complement Pursuit’s closed-die and extrusion technologies, allowing the company to offer a broader product range.

This strategic move reflects growing demand for lightweight and high-strength materials in aircraft engine production. By diversifying its forging processes, Pursuit is better positioned to serve aerospace OEMs seeking reliable partners for titanium and aluminum component supply.

The Metalnomist Commentary

Pursuit Aerospace’s acquisition of Larson Forgings highlights continued consolidation in the aerospace forging sector. As demand for titanium and aluminum alloys grows, companies with vertically integrated forging capabilities will capture greater market share. This deal signals stronger competition in the North American aerospace supply chain, where scale and technical expertise are becoming decisive factors.
