Hadrian, an automated manufacturing startup, has raised $260 million to expand its factory footprint and modernize American manufacturing for aerospace and defense companies. The funding will support the construction of a new Arizona facility ("Factory 3") and the expansion of its headquarters in California. Hadrian aims to leverage advanced automation to mass-produce parts with high precision and speed, challenging the traditional manufacturing industry. The company is also diversifying into welding, casting, and additive processes, and will offer dedicated facilities for customers, operating on a "factories as a service" model. According to CEO Chris Power, this reshoring initiative is crucial for reclaiming America's industrial superpower status.
