Tipro

What Tipro does

Tipro (legal name Shaanxi Dingyi Technology Co., Ltd., operating as TIPRO GROUP) is a privately held Chinese manufacturer of titanium mill products founded in 2004 and headquartered in Xi'an. The company produces titanium and titanium alloy ingots, bars and billets, wires and small bars, plates and sheets, tubes, and CNC-machined parts from a vertically integrated production base anchored by VAR (Vacuum Arc Remelting) double and triple melting, automated hot rolling and drawing, and a self-developed MES system for traceability. Tipro serves four primary vertical markets: aerospace (the most prominent, where it is a qualified sub-supplier for VSMPO and a titanium alloy 3D printing material supplier for two major international aircraft manufacturers), medical (ISO 13485 certified with controlled microstructure per ISO 5832-3, ETTC-2, and ASTM E112, supplying bars, wires and plates for implants, hip prosthesis, dental and surgical instruments), industrial and chemical processing (heat exchangers, tanks, titanium anodes, pressure vessels), and 3D printing / additive manufacturing (low-oxygen titanium wires and bars for spherical powder production, 200 MT wire / 500 MT bar annual capacity).

The company holds AS9100, EN9100 (Bureau Veritas), ISO 13485, ISO 9001-2008 (SGS), ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, and was among the first private Chinese titanium enterprises to obtain US and EU aviation certifications (2008). It reports 30+ invention patents, 16 utility model patents, and 7 software copyrights. Capacity includes Phase 1 at 1,500+ tons/year, 50 tons/month titanium wire production, 200 MT/year 3D printing wires and 500 MT/year 3D printing bars, operating across sites in Xi'an, Caijiapo/Qishan, Luoyang, and a Netherlands sales office established in 2017. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; with 80+ employees and aerospace/medical-grade product mix, estimated annual revenue sits in the $25M-$50M range.

The business model is direct B2B enterprise sales of physical titanium products under quotation-based pricing with no disclosed unit economics, supported by an EU sales office, global exports to 10+ countries, and an active capital program including a 10,000-ton high-homogeneity titanium alloy smelting industrialization project and a ~99,175-square-meter digital industrial park project, both undergoing environmental assessment in 2024.

Core offering

Tipro manufactures and supplies titanium and titanium alloy mill products — including titanium ingots, bars/billets, wires, plates/sheets, tubes, and precision machined parts — for aerospace, medical, industrial, and 3D printing/additive manufacturing customers. The company operates an integrated production chain from vacuum arc remelting of ingots through forging, rolling, drawing, and machining, and maintains dedicated capacity for additive-manufacturing raw material wire and bar.

Product overview

Tipro is a titanium materials manufacturer offering a comprehensive portfolio of titanium mill products organized across two dimensions: product forms (ingots, bars, wires, plates, tubes, machined parts) and target markets (aerospace, medical, industrial, 3D printing). The company operates a vertically integrated manufacturing system, producing titanium ingots via VAR melting, which are then processed into various mill forms—bars/billets, wires/small bars, plates/sheets, seamless tubes, and precision-machined parts. A key specialization is 3D printing raw materials (titanium wires and bars for additive manufacturing and spherical powder production), which supports the aerospace and medical device sectors. The product portfolio is unified by shared titanium alloy expertise (Ti-6Al-4V and commercial pure grades) and common manufacturing capabilities (forging, rolling, drawing, heat treatment, non-destructive testing), with the MES system enabling quality traceability across the entire production chain.
