Hadrian

Hadrian is an advanced manufacturing company that designs and operates highly automated, software- and AI-driven factories producing precision machined components for the aerospace, defense, and space industries. Founded in 2021 by CEO Chris Power and headquartered in Torrance, California, the company combines robotics, computer vision, and its own software platform to cut the time needed to manufacture complex metal parts, with the goal of shortening production cycles that traditionally take months down to a matter of days. Hadrian frames its mission around rebuilding U.S. manufacturing capacity for the defense industrial base, and has established a supply and manufacturing partnership with Anduril Industries among its customer relationships. Since its April 2021 seed round, Hadrian has raised capital through a Series D in August 2026 that valued the company at roughly $7.87 billion, with backers including Founders Fund, Lux Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, T. Rowe Price, and JPMorganChase's Strategic Investment Group. The company's factories include an initial site in Hawthorne, California, an expanded Torrance, California facility, and a Mesa, Arizona factory that became operational in December 2025. In March 2026 Hadrian launched a fourth factory, a 2.25 million square foot facility in Cherokee, Alabama dedicated to submarine production. Hadrian has said it plans to grow its workforce from roughly 700 toward 2,000 employees within a year of the Series D closing.
