The Hadrian team has proven that while they may not sleep, they can do the impossible: we're excited to announce that we went from 0 to production on our new Mesa, AZ factory in less than six months.

In July, we had an AI render and a signed lease. By December, we had a full stand up of Opus and more machines landed than we have across all our Torrance facilities. We hit the on switch before Christmas, and formally went live on 1/1.

We cannot understate how ridiculously hard this is. Many reasonable people doubted our ability to pull this off, but there is no other team of men and women in the country that dares to win like the Hadrian team.

A bottomless thank you to this killer team for powering through every obstacle and moving at the pace this moment demands. Everyone involved should be incredibly proud.

Keep an eye on this space: this quarter, we’ll be onboarding our enterprise customers into F3’s added capacity, expanding our product offerings into new capabilities, and ramping hard from AZ and beyond.

We will be doing a formal ribbon cutting in late January for customers, but in the interim, here’s some highlight reel from our standup journey, including a live shot of metal flying on New Year’s Eve 2025.

Real people, doing the work.
Go Team Hadrian Mesa.

Today we welcomed @SecWar Pete Hegseth to Hadrian’s AI-powered factory in Torrance.

As the nation renews its focus on rebuilding the world’s most robust industrial base, visits like this underscore a simple truth: production is deterrence.

Proud of our team driving America’s industrial resurgence.

So much talent and energy in Mesa to Reindustrialize America!
