TURBINE CASTING PRESENTATION

Turbine Parts Manufacturers Alliance (TPMa) is a company with two operating subsidiaries:
Turbine Casting (Le Creusot, France): investment casting specialist for industrial gas turbine (IGT) blades and vanes. Founded in 2004 as the restart of former Howmet facility.
Milgred (Belfort, France): Non-conventional machining of superalloys for IGT blades and nozzles. Established in 2003 as a continuation of long-standing Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) facility.
Together, Turbine Casting (TC) and Milgred supply a wide range of blades, vanes, nozzles, and other critical parts for leading IGT platforms, ranging in complexity from castings up to coated and engine-ready parts.
Established in its current form in 2004, TPMa’s clients include major IGT OEMs and MROs in Europe, the USA, and Asia. The business has worked hard over the last years to build infrastructure and capabilities to support various hot section turbine parts
To achieve its strategic targets the company is planning to invest €5 million in additional growth opportunities.
TPMa’s mission is to be successful by effectively utilizing the philosophies of high quality superalloy castings, advanced nonconventional machining technologies, and best customer service.
