Abstract: Let $mathcalO$ be an order in a central simple algebra $A$ over a number field. The elasticitity $ho(mathcalO)$ is the supremum of all fractions $k/l$ such that there exists an non-zero-divisor $ainmathcalO$ that has factorizations into atoms (irreducible elements) of length $k$ and $l$. We characterize the finiteness of the elasticity for Hermite orders $mathcalO$, if either $mathcalO$ is a quaternion order, or $mathcalO$ is an order in an central simple algebra of larger dimension and $mathcal{O}_{mathfrakp}$ is a tiled order at every finite place $mathfrakp$ at which $A_{mathfrakp}$ is not a division ring. We also prove a transfer result for such orders. This extends previous results for hereditary orders to a non-hereditary setting.
