Barron Industries in Oxford has acquired TriTech Titanium Parts in Detroit in response to customer demand for vacuum-melt alloy castings. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“In collaboration with TriTech owner Bob Swenson, Barron Industries is setting up a new facility to melt and pour titanium primarily for the aerospace, defense, and industrial/commercial industries,” says Bruce Barron, president and CEO of Barron Industries.
“These capabilities will substantially support Barron’s current operations providing precision machined castings and assemblies to aerospace and defense OEMs from steel, stainless steel, and aluminum-based alloys.”
Barron also is acquiring TriTech’s process knowledge for titanium investment castings.
The transfer and setup of equipment are expected to be operational in the fourth quarter of 2026. This expansion into titanium melting and pouring capabilities represents a natural progression for Barron, building on its 103-year history in metal casting and 43 years in the precision investment casting business, the company says.
“Barron will be working very closely with TriTech customers to transfer tooling and business, providing as seamless a transition as possible,” Barron says. “The experienced teams at Barron and TriTech will be working hand-in-hand during the transition and setup process.”
According to Barron, the TriTech acquisition marks the beginning of further investment by Barron Industries to expand capacity and drive growth in support of its aerospace and defense customers.
The company has developed an advanced manufacturing facility at its Oxford campus and is investing in additional assets and equipment to support the production of high-quality titanium castings and assemblies and to further grow all of its product lines.
