(Arendal, Norway / Sherbrooke, QC, Canada - 19 January 2026)
Tekna (OSE: TEKNA), a world-leading provider of advanced materials and plasma
systems to industry, is pleased to announce that it has received a purchase
order valued at CAD 1.5 million for high-performance titanium powder used in
Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing.
The order was placed by an undisclosed U.S. defense Tier-1 supplier and
represents a threefold increase compared to previous orders from this customer.
The expanded volume applies to deliveries scheduled throughout 2026 and reflects
the customer's growing demand for Tekna's premium Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) titanium
powder, particularly within the high-value prime particle size range.
The new order will be included in the Company's order intake for the first
quarter of 2026. This order is in addition to the CAD 2.0 million order to
another U.S. defense Tier-1 supplier announced on January 6, 2026 (included in
the order intake of the fourth quarter 2025).
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company will report total order intake of
CAD 12.2 million, comprising CAD 9.1 million in Materials and CAD 3.1 million in
Systems. This also includes significant titanium and aluminum powder orders
totaling CAD 1.3 million from a major European aerospace and defense original
equipment manufacturer.
"The strong Q4 order intake and this significant order early in the year may
signal a rebound in the additive manufacturing industry, supported by rising
defense budgets," said Claude Jean, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We
are seeing encouraging momentum, particularly in aerospace and defense, as well
as continued strength among medical customers."
Tekna will publish its interim report for the fourth quarter on February 12,
2026.
