ADMA Products Inc. has operated quietly as a small, advanced-materials company that got its start making titanium products more than two decades ago.

A vote of confidence in that direction came last month when a national project that ADMA is leading won a $3.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
ADMA, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Texas A&M University have teamed up on an innovation designed to improve the efficiency of air-conditioning units.
