Vandergrift
expansion significant to Specialty Rolled Products
transformation
VANDERGRIFT, Pa., April 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Inc. (NYSE: ATI) celebrated
completion of its expansion at Vandergrift Operations – the most
advanced materials finishing operations of its kind – at an event
attended by government and community leaders. The Vandergrift expansion is significant to ATI's
transformation of Specialty Rolled Products to be a leader in high
quality titanium and nickel-based alloys. Consolidating production
from five other locations across the ATI system created a more
competitive flow path at Vandergrift focused on increasing production
of high-value, differentiated materials.
"This expansion has unlocked the capabilities of ATI's Specialty
Rolled Products business," said Kim
Fields, ATI President and Chief Operating Officer. "This
team is delivering the advantages our customers are hungry for:
best-in-class attributes including thickness, coil size and cycle
times, at the shortest lead times in the world. It's another way
for ATI to meet the tremendous demand for specialty materials
serving aerospace and defense."
Key to the site's expansion is the new bright anneal line,
standing 200 feet tall, including state-of-the-art control systems.
Combined with ATI's Hot Rolling and Processing Facility in
Brackenridge, PA, the bright
anneal delivers best-in-the-world coil finishing capabilities at
the shortest cycle times. With state-of-the-art temperature
control, reduced flow times and the ability to produce thinner and
larger specialty coils, this facility allows ATI more
differentiating capability to deliver for our customers' end use
applications. The investment in the Vandergrift expansion is included in existing
capital expenditure guidance.
