Elmet provides precision-engineered components and advanced high-energy systems for growth markets. Our customers in these markets require advanced technology involving critical and strategic materials, such as tungsten, molybdenum and niobium (such materials, the “Critical Materials”) and high-level radio frequency (“RF”) engineering, including plasma generation, radar, and other high-energy systems (together, “High-Power Microwave”). Our products and solutions are integral to the Aerospace, Defense and Government, Industrial, Medical, Semiconductor and Electronics, and Energy industries. These are industries which require components capable of performing in extreme thermal, electromagnetic, and technical environments for vital use cases. Our fundamental mission is to strengthen U.S. domestic manufacturing capabilities to support the United States and its allies’ needs in both Critical Materials and advanced High-Power Microwave systems. We believe we are the leader and sole-source U.S. producer of many highly engineered Critical Materials products and a leading designer and manufacturer of High-Power Microwave components in the United States. Our business is organized into two divisions, Critical Materials Components (“CMC”) and Engineered Microwave Products (“EMP”). Through our divisions, we own and operate a vertically integrated engineering-to-production system, with custom design, development, and processing expertise for Critical Materials and High-Power Microwave that is unmatched in our markets and the industries in which we operate. Our High-Power Microwave expertise capitalizes on our vertically integrated engineering-to-production system, enabling us to deliver microwave energy solutions with custom design and development expertise. Our Critical Materials engineering and production expertise enables us to custom design elegant solutions for some of the most challenging environments on the planet. We believe these capabilities provide a significant competitive advantage in our markets and the industries in which we compete. --- We are proud to be the only U.S.-owned and U.S.-based manufacturer of highly engineered tungsten and molybdenum products through our CMC division. We control the powder production, pressing, sintering, forming, milling and engineering of tungsten and molybdenum oxide to the finished engineered product. Our CMC products support many of the most critical programs on land, sea and air of the United States Department of War (also referred to as the United States Department of Defense) (the “DoW”). Our engineering expertise in our EMP division has enabled us to provide products and services to a wide variety of existing and emerging programs also supporting the DoW and space sector leaders, such as Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”), RTX Corporation (“Raytheon”), Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (“Teledyne”) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”). Our products are widely used in over 95 national lab programs, including benchmark research and development facilities such as Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (“Fermi”) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (“Los Alamos”) and many others around the world. Because of the common relationship among some of the products we offer, we regularly incorporate our Critical Materials and our High-Power Microwave components in the same defense programs and high-powered energy research facilities throughout the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. Our comprehensive in-house design and manufacturing capabilities are supported by close to 100 engineers, engineering technicians, RF experts, metallurgists and research and development scientists. Our customers benefit from the specialized expertise, know-how and product design we have developed in both engineered high-temperature, high-density Critical Materials and High-Power Microwave technology. Our specific capabilities provide our customers with a value proposition which allows these customers to simplify their supply chain, increase their speed to market and maintain competitive cost structures. Our engineering expertise and established track record position us to serve customers who need a systems solution required to withstand extreme environments and meet stringent performance requirements. These customers rely on us to deliver technical design and scaled manufacturing of Critical Materials components and High-Power Microwave integrated systems to meet these standards. Given the critical nature of the components and solutions we provide, we engage with customers early in their design cycle to develop difficult-to-replicate solutions, using our specialized processes and equipment, creating a competitive advantage. We leverage our vertical integration and engineering capabilities to provide our products and services to five high-growth, strategically critical U.S. and global end-markets, which require components capable of performing in extreme thermal, electromagnetic, and mechanical environments including: Aerospace, Defense and Government, Industrial, Medical, Semiconductor and Electronics and Energy. We were organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 13, 2024. Our principal executive offices are located in Portland, ME.
