About Karman
Karman builds hardware that supports missile defense work, space missions, hypersonic vehicles, and launch systems, focusing on engineering, testing, and manufacturing rather than research alone. Much of what it produces falls into flight hardware made from metals and composites, plus the smaller assemblies that connect into larger systems. The company has become known for supplying parts that must hold up under extreme aerospace conditions.
Its main business runs through the Karman Space and Defense division, which handles a range of hardware categories: structures that protect and release payloads, sections that link stages of a rocket aerodynamically, and units tied to propulsion. Through this division, Karman serves programs across defense and space efforts that require this kind of specialized equipment.
Founded in 2020, Karman is headquartered in Huntington Beach, California. Its stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker KRMN.
