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.
“An existing customer committing at this scale is a positive reflection of Tekna’s quality product and delivery capabilities,” says Ann-Kari Heier, Executive Vice President at Arendals Fossekompani.
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. Both orders will be included in the Company’s order intake for the first quarter of 2026. 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 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 second significant order early in the year may signal a rebound in the additive manufacturing industry, supported by rising defense budgets,” says 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
