6K Additive has appointed Brandon Davis as its Chief Operating Officer.
Davis is described as a 'high-impact manufacturing executive' with over two decades of experience.
In his role as COO, he will oversee the company’s global operations, including metal powder production and alloy additions. He will be tasked with managing all 6K Additive facilities, including the company’s headquarters in Burgettstown, PA - of which there is a significant expansion ongoing - as well as sites in Hayward, CA; Washington, MO; Red Lion, PA; New Castle, PA; and New Cumberland, WV. He will report directly to 6K Additive CEO Frank Roberts.
"Brandon is a world-class leader with a proven track record of bridging the gap between high-level strategy and factory-floor execution," said Roberts. "As we continue to expand our capabilities and capacity for defence and commercial applications, Brandon’s expertise in safety and operational excellence will be invaluable to our growth."
Davis joins 6K Additive from Dexter Axle Corporation, where he served as Vice President of the Components Division. During his tenure, he is said to have had full P&L responsibility for a 500m USD operation, 'achieving a company-leading safety improvement (reducing TCIR from 2.0 to 0.13) and increasing EBITDA over 20%.' His extensive background also includes serving as President & CEO of EVRAZ Stratcor and leading National Oilwell Varco (NOV) to an Industry Week Best Plants in North America award.
Prior to his business leadership career, Davis served as a Military Police officer and was decorated with the Army Commendation Medal.
"6K Additive is at the forefront of powder manufacturing revolution for additive manufacturing, as well as decades of experience in the alloy additions industry, and I am thrilled to join a team that is redefining how high-performance materials are produced," said Davis. "My focus will be on streamlining our manufacturing campuses into high-margin, safety-first organisations while accelerating our automation journey to meet the increasing demands of the aerospace, defence, medical, and energy sectors."
