Ampco‑Pittsburgh Corporation’s Air and Liquid Systems subsidiary reported a record $28 million in customer orders for January 2026, the highest monthly volume in the unit’s history. The announcement, made on February 3 2026, highlights a 33 % jump from the previous record of $21 million and represents 57 % of the company’s total January order book of $49 million.
The 33 % increase reflects a surge in demand from the company’s core military and pharmaceutical markets, where new contracts have been signed for custom‑engineered heat‑exchangers and air‑handling solutions. The jump from $21 million to $28 million underscores the growing importance of the Air and Liquid segment as a growth engine for Ampco‑Pittsburgh’s overall business.
With $28 million of the $49 million in January orders coming from Air and Liquid Systems, the subsidiary now accounts for more than half of the company’s order pipeline. The remaining $21 million originates from the legacy forged and cast roll business, illustrating the company’s ongoing transition toward higher‑margin, specialized products and reinforcing the strategic narrative that the Air and Liquid segment is driving the company’s transformation away from its legacy operations.
CEO Brett McBrayer said the record activity was “driven by significant new orders from both the military and pharmaceutical markets. The momentum underscores the value of our custom‑engineered products and the robust demand within these critical industries.” The comment signals management confidence in the segment’s continued expansion and its role in sustaining future revenue growth.
Investors have responded positively to the announcement, viewing the record order volume as evidence of the Air and Liquid segment’s strong market position and its contribution to Ampco‑Pittsburgh’s strategic shift toward higher‑margin businesses.
