Signicast Expands into Titanium Casting with FS Precision Acquisition

Signicast

Wisconsin-based Signicast has acquired California’s FS Precision, a titanium casting specialist, in a deal that strengthens its role in aerospace and defense markets. The merger, announced on 18 June, represents a significant expansion into titanium and vacuum alloy manufacturing.

Titanium Casting Strengthens Aerospace Focus

The acquisition of FS Precision gives Signicast direct access to advanced titanium casting technologies. These capabilities are particularly valuable in aerospace and defense supply chains, where titanium is critical for its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. FS Precision’s expertise aligns with growing demand for lightweight, high-performance components across both military and commercial aircraft applications.

Expansion of US Manufacturing Capacity

Production has already begun at Signicast’s Hutchins, Texas, facility, which will act as a hub for titanium and vacuum alloy manufacturing. The company plans to expand capacity further, positioning itself to meet rising demand in advanced manufacturing sectors. This move supports the wider reshoring trend in US metals and defense manufacturing.

The Metalnomist Commentary

Signicast’s acquisition of FS Precision highlights the increasing strategic value of titanium casting in global aerospace and defense industries. By integrating FS Precision’s expertise, Signicast secures a stronger foothold in critical supply chains while reinforcing US-based titanium processing capacity.
