MCDONALD, Tenn., April 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amaero Ltd (ASX:3DA, OTCX:AMROF) (“Amaero” or the “Company”), a leading U.S. domestic producer of high-value refractory and titanium alloy powders for additive and advanced manufacturing of components utilized by the defense, space, and aviation industries, is pleased to announce that it has entered a Master Purchasing Agreement (“Agreement”) that includes a Purchase Order for titanium alloy powders with a value of A$7.8 million¹.

Highlights

• The Agreement includes a Minimum Commitment with a value A$7.8 million. The Minimum Commitment reflects equal quarterly shipments from July 2026 to June 2027.
• Customer is a private equity-backed manufacturing technology and advanced materials business.
• Customer may increase the order to exceed Minimum Commitment of titanium powder by submitting additional Purchase Orders. Customer expects that orders in FY2027 will exceed the Minimum Commitment.
• Amaero plans to increase titanium powder production in FY2027 by approximately 100% over FY2026.
  
  

With increase in 3D printing equipment installations, Amaero is experiencing strong demand for titanium alloy powders. The demand is driven by accelerating adoption of additive manufacturing across defense, aerospace, medical, consumer and civilian firearms markets. Powder demand for laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is focused on mature and high production rate gas atomized and plasma atomized powder production technology.

With two advanced EIGA Premium atomizers commissioned and a 3^rd expected to be commissioned in June, Amaero has commissioned the largest capacity and the lowest unit cost U.S. domestic production of refractory and titanium alloy spherical powders.

Applications in defense, space and nuclear are also driving demand for refractory alloy spherical powders. Amaero has orders in the current quarter to atomize five (5) different high-value refractory alloys.

Hank J. Holland, Amaero’s Chairman and CEO, commented:

“Commercial activity across both segments of Amaero’s business is strong. We are excited to secure a contract for titanium powder shipments in FY2027 that approximates total titanium powder sales in FY2026. We have been advancing numerous titanium powder opportunities over the past 6-12 months with several opportunities potentially exceeding 100 tonnes of annual demand. We are also advancing a strategic contract for refractory powder development that we expect to finalize by the end of the fiscal year. Finally, strong momentum in PM-HIP manufacturing and notable progress toward production contracts continues. We are excited to finish FY2026 with strong performance and expect to enter FY2027 with strong bookings and revenue visibility.”

This announcement has been authorized for release by the Chairman and CEO.
