HIP Capacity Expansion Planned for Garden Grove Facility

Kittyhawk Inc., a commercial provider of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) services, has placed a purchase order for a new HIP vessel at its facility in Garden Grove, California. The planned investment is intended to expand processing capacity for commercial aerospace, space, defense, and other industries that rely on HIP technology to improve material performance and component integrity.

The new vessel will complement Kittyhawk’s existing HIP operations and support growing client demand across critical manufacturing sectors. The company provides HIP processing services through facilities in California and Oregon.

“This new vessel is another step in our ongoing investment in long-term growth. As demand continues to increase, we want to make sure our [clients] have access to the HIP services they need when they need them,” said Brandon Creason, CEO of Kittyhawk.

The vessel will measure 46 inches in diameter by 100 inches high. Once operational, the additional system is expected to help reduce production bottlenecks, support faster turnaround times, and meet evolving needs of clients operating in highly regulated and performance-driven markets.
