AMETEK Hughes-Treitler

What AMETEK Hughes-Treitler does

AMETEK Hughes-Treitler (legally Technical Manufacturing Corporation) is a US-based manufacturer of custom-engineered aerospace heat exchangers, operating as a wholly-owned business unit within AMETEK Inc.'s Aerospace & Defense Division. Founded in 1947 and acquired by AMETEK in 2004, the company designs and produces plate-fin heat exchangers in aluminum and Inconel 625 constructions using vacuum-brazing and robotic welding processes at a 75,000 sq ft headquarters in Garden City, NY and a 42,000 sq ft secondary facility in Reynosa, Mexico. The product portfolio spans air-cooled oil coolers, fuel-cooled oil coolers (FCOCs) including proprietary multi-circuit variants, engine surface coolers, air-to-air high-temperature precoolers and buffer coolers rated to 1005°F, evaporators and condensers for environmental control systems, gearbox cooling subsystems, and natural-convection hydraulic coolers. Technology is differentiated by multi-circuit FCOC architectures consolidating multiple independent pressurized oil loops into a single compact unit, lightweight aluminum plate-fin construction, and vacuum-brazing capacity that supports both aluminum and high-temperature Inconel builds.

The company serves a concentrated customer base of major aerospace and defense primes, with named content on engine programs including Rolls-Royce AE3007/Ultrafan/AE2100/Liftfan, Safran LEAP-1A/1B/1C, RTX/P&W PW1100G/1200G/1400G/2000/4000/F135/F119, GE Aviation GENX-2B/F110, IAE V2500, and PWC 305/306/307/308/800/812/814/815. Airframe and rotorcraft content spans Boeing (B787, 757, 747, 767, 777, 747-8, Apache, CH-47), Airbus A350, COMAC C919, Lockheed Martin (C-130J, stealth programs), Northrop Grumman (MQ-4C Triton, RQ-4 Global Hawk), Bell (525, V-22), Sikorsky (CH-53K, MH-60), Leonardo (AW101, AW609), Gulfstream (G280, G150), Embraer (Legacy 600/650, ERJ 135/140/145, Citation Sovereign), and the F-16 program. The UAV segment is an active expansion vertical.

The business model is engineered-to-order hardware sales supplemented by custom engineering services and aftermarket support routed through channel partners AllClear (military) and Kellstrom Aerospace (commercial). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales led by a DVP of Sales & Business Development with 13 named sales professionals covering six US territories plus Central & Eastern Europe, EMEA, India, and Southeast Asia. Manufacturing is backed by AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, and four NADCAP accreditations (Heat Treating, Chemical Processing, Non-Destructive Testing, Welding). Pricing is non-public and determined per platform specification, and revenue is not separately disclosed as Hughes-Treitler is a consolidated subsidiary of publicly traded AMETEK Inc. (NYSE: AME).
