Highlights:
-
Expanding on recent advances with major defence players such as Triton Systems, Boeing, and Airbus, and now with Repkon Titomic purchasing a TKF 1000
-
TKF Systems will be pivotal in the manufacture of high-performance barrels, enabling Titomic's TKF technology to be used in conjunction with Repkon’s flow-forming techniques
Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT) (“Titomic” or “Company”) , the world’s leading provider of cold spray solutions, is pleased to announce the sale of a TKF 1000 cold spray system, (the System), to the Repkon Titomic Production Technologies and Trade Co. Inc (Repkon Titomic) joint venture for a total of A$2.3 million.
Repkon Titomic (of which Titomic has a 49% interest) was formed to establish the world’s first hybrid cold spray manufacturing facility (the Facility), which will be located in Turkey. The Facility will enable Titomic’s TKF technology to be used in conjunction with Repkon’s flow-forming techniques to revolutionise barrel manufacturing. It will offer faster production times, access to a wider range of materials with unique properties, lighter components, and enhanced performance.
The Titomic Kinetic Fusion[®] (TKF) process will be pivotal to the manufacture of high-performance barrels within the Facility. The TKF 1000 is the first of the TKF Systems expected to be installed by the joint venture. The TKF 1000 will enable replication of previously validated processes (in Titomic's Melbourne Bureau) in the Facility as the next step towards commercialisation. Repkon Titomic will also benefit from the use of the TKF1000 to promote to external customers the benefits of the Titomic Kinetic Fusion[®] process and play a key role in opening up new opportunities within the Repkon portfolio of companies.
With the TKF 1000 already built in anticipation of this order, the System will be delivered to the Facility in the near term. This System is the second high-pressure TKF System sold into the defence sector and is set to further enhance Titomic’s growing position within this sector.
Titomic anticipates that a further system will be required by Repkon Titomic joint venture before commercialisation of the barrel manufacturing commences. It is expected that this system will be a bespoke TKF 3250R with pricing to be determined once the machine has been configured. The timing of the sale of this machine, and the subsequent commencement of commercial barrel manufacturing is still to be determined by the joint venture and will be resultant on the successful installation and validation of the TKF 1000 in the near term.
In addition to the further expected sale of a TKF System to the Repkon Titomic joint venture, in the future once commercialisation commences, Titomic will also sell consumables, including metal powders, to support the TKF Systems. Titomic will also receive a share in profits from the sale of barrels produced.

Herbert Koeck, Managing Director of Titomic, commented:
“The sale of this System is a strong and important step for the Repkon Titomic joint venture toward producing high-performance barrels for the defence sector. This represents the first step towards production of barrel blanks and generating ongoing revenues from the joint venture. We anticipate the completed Facility will provide competitive and novel capabilities for the global defence sector and bolster Titomic’s position as a globally competitive manufacturing provider, expanding on Titomic’s reputation and agreements with major defence players such as Triton, BAE Systems, Boeing, and Airbus.”
This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Titomic Limited.
