INTALUS moves into production with new facility at Purdue's HAMTC

West Lafayette, Indiana — Intalus Inc., an advanced materials company developing a patented ceramic infusion process for high-performance metals, today announced it will establish a new production facility at the Hypersonics Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center (HAMTC), operated by the Purdue Applied Research Institute (PARI) at Purdue University.

This expansion builds on HAMTC's vertically integrated capabilities, spanning design, manufacturing, and testing, and aligns with PARI's mission to accelerate research and technology serving both civilian and military applications. Intalus will leverage this infrastructure to scale production of its high-performance metal-ceramic matrix systems for government and industrial programs.

"We're excited to be scaling production to meet growing demand for high-performance components," said Gene Skiba, CEO and Co-Founder of Intalus. "HAMTC offers not only the infrastructure, but also a mission-aligned environment that enables us to move quickly, collaborate effectively, and deliver for industrial and commercial operations."

"PARI brings together research, government, and industry to accelerate the development and deployment of emerging technologies," said Greg Scofield, Director of the PARI Hypersonics Lab, which oversees HAMTC. "We're pleased Intalus is joining HAMTC and contributing to our shared mission in advanced manufacturing and technology transition."

"One of our missions at PARI, and particularly at HAMTC, is to offer multiple services to government and industry under one roof to bring these products from concept to reality faster and more efficiently," said Mark Lewis, President and CEO of PARI. "Intalus is a perfect fit for these capabilities, and I am excited to provide this service to them."

Facility buildout is scheduled to begin later this year.

Intalus recently announced an $11 million seed round led by Origin Ventures, with Scout Ventures and Lockheed Martin Ventures participating. The funding will support the scale-up of its proprietary process, which uses highly localized energy to integrate ceramic-forming elements into the surface of metal, improving performance in high-stress environments.
