The announcement feels like one of those moments where a company that’s been quietly building real industrial muscle finally steps onto a global stage. 6K Additive, long known in aerospace and defense circles for producing some of the highest-grade metal powders in the world, has secured A$48 million in fresh capital through its IPO on the Australian Stock Exchange. The company now trades under the ticker 6KA, priced at A$1.00 per CDI, giving it a market cap of about A$267 million.
