Howmet Castings (formerly Howmet International) helps airplanes get off the runway. A subsidiary of Alcoa, Howmet makes titanium and superalloy turbine engine components used in jet aircraft and in industrial gas power generation equipment. Products include turbine blades and rotors, aircraft frame components, small-engine parts, bearing housings, avionics packaging, pumps, and compressor stators. Major customers include General Electric, Honeywell, Rolls-Royce, SNECMA, and United Technologies. Alcoa -- which acquired 85% of Howmet when it bought the company's parent, Cordant Technologies -- has since acquired the remainder.
