Hadrian Automation

Hadrian builds highly automated factories that make precision parts and complete systems for aerospace and defense customers — rockets, satellites, aircraft, ships, munitions, and autonomous systems. Founded in 2020, the company combines CNC machining, additive manufacturing, welding, forging, robotics, and proprietary AI software into a vertically integrated "Factories as a Service" model. Instead of owning programs, it acts as a production partner: defense primes (like Lockheed Martin) bring demand, Hadrian provides the automated capacity. Its software stack — from CAM programming and design-for-manufacturability to autonomous factory execution — automates what traditional job shops do manually. Factories operate across Los Angeles (HQ/R&D), Torrance (Factory 1), Mesa AZ (Factory 3), and a fourth site supporting Navy shipbuilding. The pitch to defense customers is 10x faster delivery at materially lower cost, enabled by software-driven automation and a trained-from-scratch technician workforce. Primary buyers are defense primes and, increasingly, the DoD directly via government contracts.
