About Hadrian

Hadrian is creating autonomous factories designed to help aerospace and defense manufacturers produce rockets, satellites, jets, and ships much faster and at significantly lower cost. By pairing advanced software, robotics, and end-to-end manufacturing capabilities, the company is reshaping how critical parts are made in the United States.

The company is growing quickly with the opening of Factory 3 in Mesa, Arizona, a 290,000-square-foot site that will add 350 jobs. It is also scaling for thousands of future hires, expanding into naval production through Hadrian Maritime, and moving toward a Factory-as-a-Service approach that provides complete systems rather than isolated parts. Hadrian is supported by investors such as T. Rowe Price, Lux Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz.
