Kittyhawk Products, a Hot Isostatic Processing (HIP) company, is a woman-owned, small business founded in 1981 by Lois, G.J., and Charles Barré to provide service to the casting industry. The company operation began with a National Forge HIP unit that has a working zone of 18" x 60" capable of 15,000 PSI and temperatures of up to 2350 degrees Fahrenheit. In 1986, Kittyhawk Products recognized the need for a larger furnace. A 40" x 60" vessel was commissioned and brought on line.
In 1995, Kittyhawk Products outgrew its facility and purchased its present location, doubling their square footage. This move also allowed Kittyhawk Products to upgrade to state of the art controls providing even better quality and service. In 1999, they brought on line a larger, third unit with a 46" x 80" capacity tripling their total HIP capacity. As technology improves, Kittyhawk Products strives to be at the forefront. Again, in 2005 they upgraded to a more advanced and efficient control system.
 Kittyhawk Products is proud of their ISO 9002 registration, achieved in 1997 and AS 9000 approval, achieved in 1998. As of 2005 they are registered to the current levels of ISO 9001:2000 and AS 9100 Rev. B. They are dedicated to providing high quality, fast, economical, and innovative services to their customers.
