Divergent Technologies raises $290 million to expand military parts production

Amid a surge of investor interest in defense technology, advanced manufacturing company Divergent Technologies has raised $290 million to expand production of missile components and other specialized hardware for the U.S. military.

The financing round, which includes $40 million in debt, values the Los Angeles–based company at $2.3 billion, according to Bloomberg. Divergent’s growing list of customers includes major defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, RTX, and General Dynamics.

Best known for its proprietary 3D-printing systems, Divergent manufactures up to 600 individual parts, with metal missile airframes forming the core of its defense work. “It’s our bread and butter,” said CEO and co-founder Lukas Czinger.

The company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its Los Angeles facilities and break ground on a new Oklahoma factory in 2026, significantly boosting its domestic production footprint.

The raise highlights investor confidence in startups that can strengthen U.S. manufacturing resilience at a time when surging weapons demand has strained traditional supply chains. With Washington pushing for faster, more flexible defense production, Divergent’s advanced manufacturing platform positions it as a critical supplier in the Pentagon’s modernization efforts.
