History

The company was founded by Elwood Haynes in 1912 in Kokomo, Indiana, as Haynes Stellite Works.[1] Haynes had recently received a patent for a metal he created, which he named Stellite.[3]

In 1920, the company was acquired by Union Carbide.[3]

In 1922, the company invented its first alloy under the Hastelloy brand, derived from the words "Haynes Stellite Alloy".[3]

In 1927, Charles Lindberg's aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis, which included hard-surfaced engine valves manufactured by Haynes, crossed the Atlantic Ocean.[3]

In 1970, Cabot Corporation purchased the company.[3]

In 1989, the investment banking firm of Morgan, Lewis, Githens, and Ahn purchased the company.[3]

In 1997, the Blackstone Group purchased the company.[3] The debt incurred ultimately forced Haynes into bankruptcy in March 2004, from which it emerged 5 months later in August 2004.[1]

In 1999, the company opened an office in Singapore, its first sales office in Asia.[3]

In 2004, the company acquired Branford Wire & Manufacturing of Mountain Home, North Carolina.[3][4]

In March 2007, Haynes became a public company via an initial public offering.[5][6]

The space shuttle program, which ended in 2011, used total of 47 parts made from Haynes 188 alloy and 7 from Haynes' Hastelloy B alloy in its engines. Hastelloy C-22 alloy was used for the fuel line bellows that assisted in achieving takeoff.[3]

In 2015, the company acquired Leveltek Processing.[7][8]

In 2016, the company expanded its operations in LaPorte, Indiana.[9] The expansion created 52 jobs.[10]

In 2018, chairman Michael Shor became President and chief executive officer of the company.[11][12]
