MT Aerospace positions itself as a one-stop-shop for additive manufacturing of large structural parts and tanks for the aerospace sector, differentiating through ISO9100-certified process chains that span design through qualified production. Based in Augsburg, Germany, the company combines metal LPBF and DED-LB technologies to serve OEMs, space agencies, and defense contractors, with a stated focus on reducing lead times and costs for complex components.
The company's core offering includes additive manufacturing services for large structural components, propellant and high-pressure tanks, cryo and satellite tanks, and aerospace brackets and assemblies. MT Aerospace claims 3x faster build speeds for DED compared to traditional methods and has integrated its AM capabilities into major programs such as the Ariane 6 launcher, where it is the largest supplier outside France.
Notable customers include Airbus, Boeing, ArianeGroup, ESA, and MTU Aero Engines. Key partnerships with EOS and AddUp support collaborative R&D to industrialize DED technology and set industry standards for large metal AM structures. The company reported revenue of €111.8 million in FY 2024 and employs over 500 people.
MT Aerospace's strategic moat lies in its certified aerospace manufacturing infrastructure and deep integration into European launcher and satellite supply chains. Competitive risks include the emergence of specialized AM service bureaus and the capital intensity required to scale DED and LPBF for serial production of large parts.
