Advanced manufacturing is changing how fast we can build. 🇺🇸
With @HadrianInc and @GMDefense we’re bringing automation, digital manufacturing and precision machining into our operations to help accelerate production.
“We build the technology to make technicians more productive, and it’s all integrated. Our engineers learn as much from the technicians every day as the technicians learn from them.”
Hadrian CFO West Owens shared this perspective on the future of American manufacturing at our first @Techweek_ event on Wednesday, “Building AI for the Physical World.”
We brought together more than 200 founders, investors, and operators shaping the future of American manufacturing.
Thanks to everyone who joined us. #LATechWeek

.@HadrianInc , @LockheedMartin & @GMDefense teamed up today to hyperscale critical munitions production alongside @USDASDuffey at Lockheed’s fantastic facility in Texas - a new chapter in the Arsenal of Freedom.
Lockheed and Hadrian signed a first of its kind, 7 year manufacturing-as-a-service agreement, with a whole Hadrian factory inside Lockheeds campus launching in January.

2,000 new jobs in Texas. 6,000 jobs planned nationwide. 🇺🇸
In Dallas, we’re growing manufacturing space to 735,000 square feet and partnering with @HadrianInc to bring automation and high-precision machining to the PAC-3® MSE, THAAD, PrSM and JATM production lines.
Commissioning will begin in early 2027, with new manufacturing cells phased in over the seven-year agreement.
It’s a new model for expanding domestic defense production and getting critical hardware to American warfighters and our allies faster.

@HadrianInc is a proud partner of the @USArmy to modernize and accelerate depot production - starting with our factory of the future at Red River.
Pressure tests are brilliant and we look forward to @SecArmy’s Manufacturing Rodeo.
Giddy up!

This week, our founder and CEO @2112Power was a guest on @mikeroweworks The Way I Heard It podcast.
For 40+ years, the manufacturing workforce was treated as an afterthought. We hold the opposite belief: that the people doing the work are the ones who make the mission real.
As Mike put it, Hadrian is "truly consequential, and maybe even historic."
They get into all of it. Youtube below, other platforms in replies.

The Reagan Institute’s 2026 National Security Innovation Base Report Card graded America’s Manufacturing Capacity & Industrial Base a D+ and highlighted the need to scale production.
Hadrian’s $1.37B funding round shows the private sector is starting to answer that call.
The challenge now: turn investment into production at speed and scale.
Today we're announcing our Series D: $1.37B in new capital at a $7.87B valuation to Reindustrialize America.
Thank you to all our investors. WCM Investment Management, @WashingHarbour, Valor Equity Partners, @137ventures, and @BaillieGifford led the round. @jpmorgan Chase's Strategic Investment Group acted as anchor co-lead, investing through the firm's Security and Resiliency Initiative. The round also included major participation by @1789capital, as well as participation from @MorganStanley Wealth Management, @apolloglobal, @TRowePrice, @a16z, @CapitalG, @foundersfund, @lux_capital, @AltimeterCap, @constructcap, and existing investors.
This round confirms our belief in a few simple things: America needs to Reindustrialize, Physical AI is real, transforming the world of atoms matters 100x more than the world of bits, and, most importantly, that the New American Workforce is the center of everything we do.
Here's what we've built, and what comes next.
Today, we are happy to announce the closing of a $360 million revolving credit facility. The financing was arranged by a leading group of financial firms, underscoring strong institutional support for Hadrian’s continued growth. Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc. served as Lead Left Arranger and Bookrunner, with additional joint lead arrangers and bookrunners Western Alliance Bank, J. P. Morgan, First Citizens Bank, Customers Bank, HSBC Ventures USA Inc, Axos Bank, and Texas Capital Securities. Kirkland & Ellis was counsel to Hadrian on the transaction.
This facility allows Hadrian to further invest in the advanced manufacturing infrastructure, machinery, and related hardware needed to achieve its production goals.
