[edit]

In 1992 the company acquired a 24,000 square foot facility.[12] They moved some product distribution to an additional facility in Windfall Indiana, "which will allow the company to expand their production at the Tipton plant" in 2005.[13] They had attained "Master Distributor" status as seen in a 2009 Metal Center News,[14] with a snapshot article that states: "stocking many grades of materials: Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel, Nitronic, Cobalt-based alloys such as Stellite and L605, and Commercially Pure Nickel grades."[15]

They received an award from the State of Indiana (ISBDC/IEDC), as an 'Indiana Company to Watch' at the ceremony in September 2011. "Forty-three companies from Indiana will be honored as outstanding second-stage companies during the fourth annual Indiana Companies to Watch awards program, held on Aug. 25 (2011) in Indianapolis."[16] "The accolade, presented by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, its Small Business Development Center network, Purdue University and the Edward Lowe Foundation."[17]

"The company is providing alloys for the joint fighter project of the U.S. Department of Defense", an expansion was planned.[18] Projections for the joint strike fighter build rate. "The Joint Strike Fighter is intended for use by the Air Force, Navy and Marines, along with sales to U.S. allies. Output has held steady at around 35 a year..."[19]

They have been featured as a guest on Zane Lamprey's show National Geographic: Showdown of the Unbeatables in 2015. HPAlloy was the supplier of the "super-metal".[20] Modern Metals Magazine performed an editorial, FaceTime interview, on Nitronic alloys, titled "Understanding Nitronic alloys", with High Performance Alloys in 2016.[21]
