What Sifco Industries does

SIFCO Industries, Inc. is a Cleveland-based, NYSE American-listed (ticker: SIF) producer of highly engineered forged components for the aerospace, defense, and energy markets, founded in 1913 and operating through two wholly-owned manufacturing facilities: SIFCO Forge in Cleveland, Ohio, and Quality Aluminum Forge in Orange, California. Its core technology spans open-die and closed-die forging, heat-treating, coating, and machining of nickel super alloys, titanium, aluminum, and stainless steels, producing flight-critical parts ranging from 1 lb to 1,200 lbs, including turbine blades, compressor blades, airfoils for engines and industrial gas turbines, and structural and rotating parts. The company holds AS9100D, ISO9001, and NADCAP certifications and supplies all major commercial and military fixed-wing aircraft OEMs, helicopters, business jets, and leading steam and gas turbine manufacturers.

The business model is B2B contract manufacturing under long-term supply agreements with aerospace and energy OEMs, with revenue generated through quote-based, program-level hardware sales and an enterprise field sales motion targeting engineering and quality relationships rather than transactional distribution. Named customers include Boeing (Premier Bidder Program member, multi-year Performance Excellence Gold recipient) and Curtiss-Wright (Excellence and High Flyer awards), with the energy side covering steam/gas turbine OEMs and oil producers. Recent strategic actions include the 2024 divestiture of the CBlade (Maniago, Italy) business to refocus on core aerospace forging, the December 2024 CEO transition to George Scherff, and capital reinvestment in forging presses at Cleveland to scale capacity. The company carries 501–1,000 employees, FY2025 net sales of approximately $84.8M, FY2024 net sales of $79.6M, and a customer backlog that grew from $114.4M (end of FY2024) to $121.9M (Q1 FY2025), with Q2 FY2026 revenue up 39% year-over-year.
