What Perryman Company does

Perryman Company is a privately held, family-founded specialty titanium manufacturer headquartered in Houston, Pennsylvania, operating four manufacturing campuses in the state (Houston, Coal Center, Frackville, and California) plus sales offices in the United Kingdom, China, and Japan. Founded in 1988 by James Perryman Sr., Perryman is the world's fourth largest titanium melter with annual melting capacity exceeding 26 million pounds, produced via Electron Beam Cold Hearth (EBCH) and Vacuum Arc Remelt (VAR) double/triple melt processes under vacuum. The company operates a fully integrated melt-to-finish supply chain spanning blending, melting, automated breakdown, hot rolling, finishing, and technical/laboratory testing, with proprietary capabilities including the patented CHEMTEX surface texturing process for medical implants and a textured infrastructure bar product for concrete reinforcement.

The company generates revenue across three operating brands: Perryman Titanium Group (ingots, bar, wire, fine wire, precision finish coil, net shapes, and additive manufacturing wire sold to aerospace, medical, defense, industrial, consumer, and infrastructure customers), Perryman Forge & Fabrication (FDA-registered, ISO 13485/AS9100-certified contract manufacturing of medical implants and instruments from titanium, cobalt chrome, stainless steel, and medical-grade plastics), and the wholly-owned Metalube & Coating Services subsidiary (aqueous cleaners, degreasers, and lubricants for the specialty metals industry). Pricing is quote-based with quarterly-published raw material and freight surcharges (2026 Q1 raw material surcharge $4.90/lb; Q2 $5.09/lb). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supported by in-house engineers and metallurgists, with named approvals including Boeing D1-4426, Airbus AFM-002-2, and Safran laboratory approval, alongside Nadcap, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, and DFARS compliance.

Direct peers

• ATI (Allegheny Technologies): ATI is a major US specialty metals producer with significant titanium and titanium alloy operations serving aerospace, defense, and medical markets. Highly comparable to Perryman on end markets, certifications (AS9100, Nadcap), and integrated mill products, though larger and publicly traded.
• TIMET (Titanium Metals Corporation): TIMET is historically the largest Western producer of titanium mill products (melting, ingot, billet, bar, sheet, plate). It is the most direct comparable to Perryman given overlap in titanium melting technology (VAR), aerospace qualification, and integrated bar/wire products. Now a Precision Castparts subsidiary but still operates as a standalone titanium peer.
• Toho Titanium: Toho Titanium is one of the world's largest titanium producers based in Japan, with titanium sponge and titanium ingot operations serving aerospace and industrial markets. Comparable to Perryman as a top-tier global titanium melter with EBCH/VAR-equivalent technology and direct overlap in aerospace titanium supply chains.
• Carpenter Technology Corporation: Carpenter Technology is a US specialty alloys producer with titanium alloy capabilities, serving aerospace, medical, and industrial markets with high-performance materials. Comparable to Perryman on premium-grade alloy positioning, customer overlap, and integrated mill operations, though with a broader alloy portfolio than titanium alone.
• VSMPO-AVISMA: VSMPO-AVISMA is the world's largest titanium producer, based in Russia, supplying integrated titanium products to Boeing, Airbus, and major aerospace OEMs. Highly comparable to Perryman in end markets and integrated mill capabilities, though materially larger in scale. Geopolitical risk is a key differentiator from Western peers.

Emerging players

• Haynes International: Haynes International produces high-performance nickel- and cobalt-based alloys with limited titanium exposure, serving aerospace, chemical processing, and industrial markets. Comparable to Perryman on specialty alloys positioning and aerospace end markets, though focused on high-temperature alloys rather than titanium specifically.
• Special Metals (Precision Castparts subsidiary): Special Metals is a leading producer of high-performance nickel, cobalt, and titanium alloys serving aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. Comparable to Perryman on specialty alloy positioning and aerospace customer overlap, though focused primarily on nickel-based superalloys rather than titanium as the core product.

Regional players

• Continental Alloys & Services: Continental Alloys is a global distributor and service provider of specialty alloy products including titanium bar, pipe, and fittings serving oil & gas, aerospace, and industrial markets. Comparable to Perryman in titanium product offering, though Continental is primarily a distributor rather than an integrated melter, giving it a different scale profile.

Broad incumbents

• Kobe Steel: Kobe Steel is a major Japanese steelmaker with titanium products operations alongside a much broader portfolio of steel, aluminum, and welding products. Comparable to Perryman on titanium melting and aerospace supply, though titanium is one division within a much larger industrial conglomerate.
• Nippon Steel Corporation: Nippon Steel is Japan's largest steelmaker and a major global producer of titanium products including titanium sheet, plate, and bar serving aerospace and industrial markets. Comparable to Perryman on titanium mill products, though titanium represents a small portion of Nippon Steel's overall portfolio.
