Hadrian

Automated factories for precision metal components

About Hadrian

Hadrian builds automated factories to produce precision metal components for the Space & Defense industry. These factories are designed to manufacture parts for rockets, satellites, jets, and drones much faster and cheaper than traditional machine shops. By automating the manufacturing process, Hadrian can deliver flight-grade machined parts in as little as 5 to 21 days, depending on the complexity of the part. The company uses advanced scheduling and capacity management systems to ensure timely delivery and provides customers with real-time visibility into their orders, including inspection results. Unlike its competitors, Hadrian focuses on creating a highly efficient production environment that significantly reduces costs and improves production speed. The goal is to enhance the manufacturing capabilities of their customers and support them in bringing new products to market more effectively.
