Acquisition Strengthens RTI's Position in Growing Commercial Aerospace and Energy Markets

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RTI International Metals, Inc. (NYS: RTI) , today announced it has acquired the Osborn Steel Extrusions business unit of Osborn Metals Limited for approximately $15 million in cash.

Located in Bradford, England, Osborn Steel Extrusions specializes in the manufacture of less than 6 inch diameter extruded titanium and stainless steel hollows and near-net shape profile parts. It provides its products principally to commercial aerospace, energy, power generation and defense market customers.

Dawne S. Hickton, Vice Chair, President and CEO of RTI, said, "The acquisition of Osborn Steel Extrusions represents the continued execution of RTI's growth strategy on enhancing our value-added, downstream titanium and specialty materials engineered products and services capabilities. Combined with the extrusion assets of our Houston, Texas-based RTI Fabrication unit, RTI is now capable of providing a full complement of hollow and solid shaped extruded products in the small- to mid-size range. These comprise the sizes in which we expect to see a majority of opportunities for new and continuing business with our combined customer base, including the potential for additional new smaller-sized aerospace engine component opportunities. In addition, Osborn Steel Extrusions brings with it several extruded part positions on both Airbus and Boeing commercial aircraft legacy and growth programs. We welcome our most recent set of highly skilled and productive employees to our growing European footprint."

The unit, which currently generates approximately $20 million in annual revenues, will operate under the name RTI Extrusions Europe Limited as part of RTI's Engineered Products and Services segment.
