US advanced-materials company making beryllium alloys, precious and non-precious metal sputtering targets and other thin-film materials for chipmaking, and precision optical filters.
Its sputtering targets supply metal layers deposited in chip fabs, and it reported strength in semiconductor and data center markets in 2025. Much of its business is aerospace, defense, industrial and automotive, so AI is one driver among several.
Sells engineered alloys, electronic materials (targets, lids, wire, chemicals) and precision optics to semiconductor, industrial, aerospace and defense, energy and automotive customers.
