HWM Company Overview

Howmet Aerospace Inc. is a U.S.-based aerospace and industrial manufacturing company focused on advanced engineered solutions for the aerospace, defense, commercial transportation, and industrial markets. The company is best known for producing highly engineered metal components and fastening systems used in aircraft engines, airframes, defense systems, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Howmet operates primarily within the aerospace supply chain and derives a substantial portion of its revenue from commercial aerospace demand, particularly from aircraft engine components and structural fastening systems.

The company’s principal business lines include Engine Products, Fastening Systems, Engineered Structures, and Forged Wheels. Its products include turbine blades, structural castings, aerospace fasteners, titanium components, and forged aluminum truck wheels. Howmet’s strategic positioning is supported by long-term relationships with major aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Boeing, Airbus, RTX, GE Aerospace, and Rolls-Royce, as well as by proprietary manufacturing expertise in precision casting, forging, and advanced alloys. The company traces its roots to the former Alcoa engineered products division and became an independent publicly traded company following the separation of Arconic and subsequent renaming to Howmet Aerospace in 2020.
