HP Alloys is an American manufacturer and distributor of alloys, based in Tipton, Indiana. [1] Founded in 1984 by Russ Kirchner Jr., the company is currently owned by two of his sons, Dave, and Russ, who purchased it in 2010. [2] [3]
HP Alloys was established by metallurgist Russ Kirchner in 1984. [4] [5]
During the late 1980s, the company's operations extended to include the production of materials such as plate, sheet, bars, and forgings, adding manufacturing capabilities to its business. [6]
In 2009, HP Alloys relocated its distribution of plate, sheet, and weld wire to Windfall, Indiana. [7] In the same year, Cella and Russ Kirchner took retirement. [6]
In May 2014, HP Alloys was featured in an episode of the National Geographic television program Showdown of the Unbeatables. [8]
HP Alloys received recognition from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation in 2011 when it was included in the Indiana Companies to Watch list. [9] In 2021, the company was recognized as the Rural Small Business of the Year by the Indiana Economic Development Corp. and Inside Indiana Business. [5] [10]
The company operates two facilities: a manufacturing plant in Tipton and its headquarters in Windfall, Indiana. [2] The Tipton facility uses a hot-and-cold process to create metal alloys, while the Windfall facility incorporates a cutting technique using water and powder-fine garnet for abrasion. [2]
High Performance Alloys' alloys have been used in multiple NASA projects, including the Mars rover, Space Station Freedom, and Space Shuttle. [2] The alloys have also been used in fighter aircraft, rockets, Ferrari Formula One cars, and yacht rigging for America's Cup competitors. [2] The company is currently a supplier for a joint fighter project of the U.S. Department of Defense and serves companies in Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and around the Crane Naval Air Station. [2]
