Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation announced it had received more than $28 million in customer orders this last month, a record for the company.
The company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Air and Liquid Systems Corporation, said the order volume marks the highest monthly order volume in its history, besting its previous record of $7 million. The surge in activity is caused by a sustained demand for Ampco-Pittsburgh’s specialized solutions across industrial sectors, the company said.
“We are seeing an incredibly strong start to the year for our Air and Liquid business,” Brett McBrayer, Ampco-Pittsburgh’s CEO, said. “This record-breaking activity was driven by significant new orders from both the military and pharmaceutical markets. The momentum underscores the value of our custom-engineered products and the robust demand within these critical industries.”
Overall, the company said its January orders were $49 million for the month.
Ampco-Pittsburgh manufactures and sells highly engineered, high-performance specialty metal products and customized equipment. Through its subsidiary, Union Electric Steel Corporation, it is also a leading producer of forged and cast rolls for global steel and aluminum industries, and manufactures open-die forged products sold principally to customers in the steel distribution market, oil and gas industry and the aluminum and plastic extrusion industries. The company also produces air and liquid processing equipment such as custom-engineered finned tube heat exchange coils, large custom air handling systems and centrifugal pumps.
