United Titanium

What United Titanium does

United Titanium is a specialty metal manufacturer and supplier founded in 1962 and headquartered in Wooster, Ohio, producing precision-engineered fasteners, fittings, mill products, and custom machined parts in titanium, zirconium, cobalt alloys, nickel alloys, specialty stainless steel, tantalum, and nitronic alloys. The company operates advanced machining capabilities including CNC and manual lathes, 5-axis vertical milling, hot and cold forging, and 3-axis waterjet technology, holding ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications alongside DLA-approved supplier status and FDA Quality System Regulation Code Part 820 compliance for medical applications.

The company serves nine vertical end-markets: defense (primary), medical and dental (primary), petroleum and chemical processing, power generation and pollution control, marine engineering, aerospace and communication, pulp and paper, electronics and semiconductor, and consumer applications. Its go-to-market is sales-led and direct: customers submit Requests for Quote through the company website, phone (800-321-4938), or fax, with same-day quoting and same-day shipping available for in-stock items. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated from one-time B2B sales of manufactured-to-order components. Notable enterprise customers include Northrop Grumman, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (Juno satellite), Teledyne Oil & Gas (15+ year relationship), Chemcut, EPTAM Plastics (7+ year relationship at 100% on-time delivery), and Cembell Industries.

In September 2025, United Titanium was acquired by private equity firm Riverspan Partners, with industry veteran Paul Schwarzbaum joining the board. The company employs over 100 people and operates from a single manufacturing campus at 3450 Old Airport Road, Wooster, Ohio. The acquisition is intended to accelerate product innovation, strengthen operational excellence, and expand United Titanium's global customer base in the titanium fasteners market.

Regional players

• Online Metals: Online distributor of small-quantity specialty metals including titanium and stainless to industrial and consumer buyers. Comparable in catalog/online mill products distribution but with a smaller-quantity, more consumer/SMB customer mix.

Direct peers

• Continental Steel & Tube: Distributor and processor of specialty metals including titanium, nickel alloys, and stainless steel serving aerospace, defense, and industrial OEMs. Overlaps with United Titanium's mill products and alloy distribution activities.
• Ed Fagan Inc. Supplier of specialty metals including titanium, zirconium, niobium, and other exotic alloys for aerospace, defense, and medical applications. Comparable to United Titanium's mill products and materials business across shared customer verticals.
• Vulcanium Metals International: Specialty titanium and exotic alloy fastener manufacturer serving aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial customers. Highly comparable in product mix, target verticals, and custom manufacturing model to United Titanium.
• Performance Metal Company: Specialty metal fastener and fitting manufacturer focused on corrosion-resistant alloys for aerospace, marine, and chemical processing — directly comparable to United Titanium's specialty alloy fastener and fitting lines.
• Titanium Industries: Specialty titanium and high-performance alloy distributor and processor serving aerospace, medical, and industrial OEMs. Directly comparable in titanium mill products distribution and value-added processing.

Broad incumbents

• Dynamet (Carpenter Technology): Carpenter Technology's titanium products division producing titanium bar, wire, and fasteners for aerospace and medical. Larger, integrated competitor with captive melt capacity that competes with United Titanium on aerospace and medical titanium parts.
• Carpenter Technology Corporation: Public specialty alloys producer (titanium, cobalt-chromium, nickel superalloys) serving aerospace, medical, and defense. Far larger scale than United Titanium but competes for the same high-specification alloy demand.
• Haynes International: Manufacturer of high-performance nickel and cobalt alloys for aerospace, chemical processing, and power generation. Comparable in exotic alloy expertise and end-market overlap with United Titanium's nickel/cobalt alloy offerings.
• RTI International Metals (Alcoa): Now part of Alcoa/Howmet Aerospace, RTI was a leading titanium mill products and engineered parts supplier for aerospace and defense. Represents the larger, fully integrated tier of competition against United Titanium.
