Executive Summary
Structural reshoring tailwinds are accelerating demand for U.S.-domestic advanced materials and
manufacturing as national security, supply-chain resiliency, and industrial policy converge.
Amaero is uniquely positioned at the intersection of materials science and manufacturing, with
scaled U.S. production of high-value refractory and titanium alloy spherical powders and differentiated PM-
HIP capability for near-net-shape parts.
Amaero operates at the highest tier of the metal powder market, producing high-purity reactive,
spherical powders for additive manufacturing through advanced EIGA-based processes and proprietary
technical expertise that few competitors can replicate.
PM-HIP addresses a critical casting and forging bottleneck, delivering forge-like properties, shorter
lead times, and scalable domestic production for high-mix, low-volume components.
Independent validation and early commercial traction de-risk adoption, supported by strategic offtake
and supply agreements, a fully funded U.S. manufacturing footprint, and a strong balance sheet.

Macro Backdrop Highlights
Current Pain Points
▪ Decades-long shift from dual-use contractors to defense prime contractors led to
consolidation in the manufacturing and supply chain base
▪ At the very same time, the U.S. began to shift its economy to an asset-light model
and real-time inventory planning which led to offshoring our manufacturing and
supply chain industries
▪ Small and mid-sized firms are central to building a resilient supply network in
sectors like aerospace and propulsion
▪ Geopolitical tensions and the threat to national security(i.e., Covid, Ukraine, etc.)
inspired a reprioritization of U.S.-domestic manufacturing and supply chain resiliency
▪ Accelerated RDT&E for cutting-edge research and advanced capabilities such as
advanced materials and manufacturing technologies
▪ U.S. DoD has prioritized casting and forging as one of four focus areas posing a
pressing threat to national security
▪ Advanced manufacturing is key to restabilizing needed industrial-based capabilities

“The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are
being built in the United States for the first time.
Adding American manufacturing helps us
better meet the incredible and growing
demand for AI chips and supercomputers,
strengthens our supply chain and boosts our
resiliency”
“Overall, we will procure, over the course of the
next four years, probably half a trillion dollars
worth of electronics in total and I think we can
easily see ourselves manufacturing several
hundred billion of it here in the U.S.”
– Jensen Huang, President, Co-Founder and
Chief Executive Officer of NVIDIA
“We are bullish on the future of American
innovation, and we're proud to build on our long-
standing U.S. investments with this $500 billion
commitment to our country's future. From
doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund,
to building advanced technology in Texas,
we're thrilled to expand our support for American
manufacturing.”

National
Security and
Strategic
Materials
▪ The U.S. has exempted a few critical minerals from tariffs, but most high-value defense and
aerospace materials, such as C103 and Ti-64, remain protected, favoring domestic producers
▪ The push to reduce foreign dependency is accelerating investment ensuring that advanced
materials remain reliably accessible within national borders
▪ Liberation Day tariffs are catalyzing the formation of more resilient, end-to-end U.S. supply chains
that minimize exposure to geopolitical volatility
▪ As reshoring gains momentum, supplier ecosystems must scale rapidly to meet demand
▪ Economic resiliency and supply chain sovereignty are core objectives
▪ President Trump has vowed to bring shipbuilding back to the U.S. while promising tax incentives
and a new office in the executive branch to reinvigorate the atrophied domestic industry
Resurgence in
U.S. Domestic
Manufacturing
▪ Trump administration shift in tariff and trade policy are prompting leading firms like NVIDIA and
Apple to invest heavily in U.S. based production, evidenced by Nvidia’s recent announcement
that it would build up to $500 billion worth of AI infrastructure in the U.S. over the next four years
▪ Priority industrial policies have incentivized relocation of manufacturing, supply chain and
procurement to the U.S. through a “carrot and stick” approach
▪ Policy shifts are reinforcing a broader national strategy to reindustrialize the economy by bringing
back high-skill, high wage manufacturing jobs

Amaero addresses critical gaps in the supply chain and is at the fulcrum of the reshoring opportunity
– building resilient, integrated, and scalable U.S.-domestic industrial production and supply chains
• Current refractory powder producer treats AM powders as secondary product lines, resulting in long lead times, inconsistent quality and limited
responsiveness across strategic industries
• Fragmented supply chains introduce variability at each step, from feedstock mining to powder atomization to part production causing inconsistent
performance and higher scrap rates for OEMs in regulated sectors such as A&D, medical devices and high-performance automotive components
• As industries push into more advanced alloys, the lack of a single supplier that controls the entire chain creates costly bottlenecks and limits
commercialization

Why Additive
Manufacturing?
▪ Additive Manufacturing (AM)
addresses critical requirements
that are key in aerospace and
defense:
✓ Reduced buy-to-fly ratio
✓ Reduced time to production
✓ More complex geometries
✓ Low-volume, high-value
✓ Improve material properties
✓ Rapid prototyping
▪ U.S. DoD’s additive manufacturing
aims to advance TRL and MRL
such that AM can be fully adopted
and integrated in the defense
production and MRO ecosystem
We are not the manufacturing nation that we were 40 years ago…
we must have advanced manufacturing of all types”

▪ Given the domestic lack of resiliency and
scalability, the U.S. faces supply chain
challenges for components that require large
casting and forgings scalability and forge-like
material properties
▪ Demand for maintenance, repair and
operations (MRO) shops are increasing the
strain
▪ PM-HIP manufacturing processes involve
fabricating pre-formed, hollow molds for large-
scale components and filling them with metal
powder
▪ PM-HIP provides a method of manufacturing
large, complex components with enhanced
material properties (e.g., improved toughness
and resistance to thermal fatigue) under a
shortened production cycle
▪ PM-HIP’s ability to produce high-integrity
metal parts domestically will help the U.S.
reduce its dependency on foreign suppliers,
representing an integral step in enhancing
supply chain resilience
▪ There is a large and increasing need for
components to support the maritime and
