Valence Surface Technologies, an independent surface treatment company, now offers titanium and hardmetal processing at its 10 facilities located in the United States.
Recently, several Valence facilities have improved their hard metal service offerings for the aerospace and defense industries.
‘As titanium content has increased on aerospace programs, our customers have asked for added capacity and redundancy of capabilities across the country, and Valence has responded,’ said Valence CEO Tracy Glende.
