Wyman-Gordon

What Wyman-Gordon does

Wyman-Gordon is a precision forging company that designs and manufactures complex metal components from high-grade titanium and nickel-based alloys, serving global aerospace and energy markets. Its product portfolio spans forged components for aircraft engines and airframes, energy applications (nuclear, petrochemical, power generation), and space vehicles. The company operates as a wholly-owned operating division of Precision Castparts Corp. (NYSE: PCP), a publicly traded parent, and was acquired by PCC in 1999. Founded in 1943, Wyman-Gordon maintains an extensive manufacturing footprint of more than eleven facilities across the United States (Houston, Grafton, Dillon, ISO Group, Mountaintop, Livingston), the United Kingdom (Lincoln), and the Czech Republic (Plzen), with affiliated brand operations covering heat treating, drop-die forging, machining, and testing services. Its core technical asset is a 29,000-ton forging press at the Houston facility—one of the largest in operation—used to produce large aircraft engine components.

Wyman-Gordon generates revenue through direct B2B sales of custom-manufactured forged components to aircraft engine manufacturers and industrial energy-sector clients, with pricing conducted on a quote basis (not publicly disclosed). It goes to market through an enterprise field sales motion targeting major aerospace OEMs and energy equipment producers, supported by company-website technical content aimed at mid-funnel technical buyers. Production is organized as a unified forging platform with intentional geographic redundancy—following a November 21, 2025 failure of the Houston press, approximately 70% of affected production was redirected to another press at the same facility and the remainder distributed across other Wyman-Gordon sites, illustrating the resilience design of the manufacturing footprint.

Customer segmentation is vertical-oriented: aerospace is the primary segment (aircraft engines, airframes, space), with energy (nuclear, petrochemical, power generation) as a secondary segment. Both segments require precision, material integrity, and reliability under extreme operating conditions. The company does not disclose specific customer logos, and standalone revenue is not reported—Precision Castparts Corp. consolidated reported approximately $6 billion in annual revenue, within which Wyman-Gordon's contribution is not separately broken out.
