Introduction
So what are the highlights of the May 201 issue of "The Monty"? To start off we have
updated our list of the 15 largest new furnace builders in North America which makes
for rather interesting reading. Let us not forget that we have two very interesting
articles about what commercial heat treaters get paid and also those who toil in the
OEM business-meaning the suppliers to the industry-the next time you face a supplier
you will have a good idea what he is getting paid. A favorite of ours is a history of Nitrex
over the years and specifically Nitrex, USA. An interview with Mr. Pawel Wyrzykowski,
CEO of Seco/Warwick is included, an announcement about a major furnace builder
acquisition in Europe and new furnace order press releases abound.
As always feel free to provide us with your questions, surplus equipment listings
thoughts and comments.
Best regards,

Heat Treat News
Largest North American Furnace Builders. It dates all the way back to 2007
when we put together a list of the largest furnace builders in North America which
means we are long overdue to update the list. When talking about the largest
builders we based this upon several criteria. First the ranking is in terms of annual
sales. Second this is firms which concentrate on the heat treating industry as
opposed to the steel industry or kilns. So for the purposes of this report we are
looking at builders who would typically supply batch IQ furnaces,
vacuum furnaces, pushers, cast and mesh belt lines, aluminum
furnaces and rotary hearths. The most difficult part of our task is
due to the fact that almost without exception all of these
companies are privately owned and reluctant to share sales
figures. However heat treaters are generally a very open bunch
and at the end of the day almost 75% responded with sales figures
of which probably half gave their permission to print their sales,
with the other half providing figures only as a reference point for
our list. Obviously this is the "honor" system but hey if you can't
trust a furnace builder who can you trust? I will say the comments
and guidance was much appreciated. Without further ado; May
1/2013
1) Ipsen/Rockford, IL. It comes as no surprise to us that Ipsen,
either the largest or second largest furnace builder in the world
would be #1 on our list based upon their sales and manufacturing
in North America. Based in Rockford, IL sources told us that annual
sales in 2012 were $90 to $100 million USD which is only Ipsen
USA and excludes all other global Ipsen companies–some of which
export into the USA. http://www.ipsenusa.com/index.php
www.themonty.com
2) AFC-Holcroft/Wixom, Michigan. To get a feel for AFC-Holcroft we went to the
President and CEO, Mr. Bill Disler who provided us with this very concise answer
about the company.

"Dear Gord: Thank you for your ongoing interest in promoting market awareness in
the heat treat industry. In today’s environment, I often find such simple questions
as sales volume becoming a more complicated question to answer. With many
companies having various relationships, partners and joint ventures around the
world, including AFC-Holcroft, I am often cautious on how to best state sales
volume and I expect others have similar considerations. However, to give you as
simple an answer as possible, AFC-Holcroft’s annual sales, including affiliate
companies, were approximately $80-90 million in 2012. This is inclusive of both our
atmosphere and vacuum equipment and comprises equipment on a global level.
AFC-Holcroft continues to see a tremendous demand for our atmosphere furnace
equipment, specifically multi-row pushers and sealed quench batch. The belief of
the past that large production equipment such as multi-row pushers would become
obsolete in favor of more flexible alternatives is clearly not what we are
experiencing in the marketplace. There is still a sufficient volume of parts requiring
heat treatment to easily justify larger production equipment which provides
significant cost and quality benefits for their users. In the sealed quench
marketplace, I am very pleased that our group has expanded our market share with
both our large captive customers as well as smaller commercial heat treat users
that are seeing the benefits of our equipment design. We are looking forward to a
strong 2013 but remain cautious while we watch the uncertainties in key
geographic markets such as China and Europe. Best regards, AFC-Holcroft, Bill
Disler, President & CEO". http://www.afc-holcroft.com/
3)Can Eng International/Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Can Eng provided us
with this information-incidentally Can-Eng is the largest Canadian furnace builder.
"Sales are approximately $40 to $50 million/year with 100 direct employees and a
sub-contract base of contractors and fabricators that can rise to 200. We are
growing rapidly, with strong sales coming from three key areas in order of revenue:
Steel Industry, Aluminum and Mesh Belts". http://www.can-eng.com/ Continued

SECO/Warwick, ENGEFOR, Brazil. Furnace builder SECO/WARWICK has long
proclaimed that they want to be one of the largest in the world and the acquisition
below brings the company a step closer. May 1/2013
"SECO/WARWICK takes over 100% of the shares of Brazilian heat treatment
manufacturer ENGEFOR in Jundiai, Sao Paulo, and covers the
Brazilian and South American market with an own manufacturing,
service and sales facility now. SECO/WARWICK and the owners of
ENGEFOR Indústria e Comércio Ltda., a Brazilian furnace
manufacturer based in the industrial belt of Sao Paulo City in
Jundiai, Sao Paulo State, have signed a contract for the acquisition
of 100% of the shares of ENGEFOR at the end of April 2013.
ENGEFOR has been serving the Brazilian market with high quality
brazing, drying, curing, sintering and heat treatment
furnaces/equipment and with reliable service for more than 20
years. SECO/WARWICK will extend the scope of products offered
by ENGEFOR with the products of its five business segments and
will integrate ENGEFOR’s manufacturing and service capabilities in
its international network. ENGEFOR employs around 50 and will
change its name to SECO/WARWICK do Brasil, Industria de Fornos
Ltda. The former owners of the company, Aparicio Vilademir
Freitas and Yassuhiro Sassaqui, will remain in the management of
the company and will be reinforced by Thomas Kreuzaler, who will
take a seat for the SECO/WARWICK Group. SECO/WARWICK
expects the profitable company to grow further and faster by the
additional products and services it is able to offer now. Brazilian customers now
have direct access to the equipment, technologies and processes of
www.themonty.com

SECO/WARWICK via a local manufacturing and service site in Brazil. This
investment in the Brazilian market is a milestone in the global strategy of the
SECO/WARWICK Group and will contribute to the accomplishment of the goals that
the Group set for its growth in the next years."
Are Things Slowing Down? The answer to this question would be an unqualified
YES. Exhibit A would be the latest numbers from Metal Treating Institute (MTI)
http://www.heattreat.net/ which recently reported that amongst their members
YTD sales for the heat treating industry were down 8.5% from the previous three
month period in 2012. This decline was reflected in every area of the US and
Canada with the exception of the Pacific Coast which saw a very modest increase of
2%. More anecdotal evidence comes from our captive and commercial heat treating
friends across the continent who virtually without exception report slowing growth.
This is most obvious in the auto industry which while still busy has slowed to some
extent and the oil and gas industries in the southern US which has also slowed
slightly. BUT the kicker is that nobody is panicking, everybody expects that the
slowdown will be relatively modest and that by the end of the year things will be
picking up. So folks this is not 2009 part II but rather a relatively modest slowdown
which is not unexpected after the torrid growth most heat treaters have been
seeing over the past year. April 30/2013

Bodycote Interim Management Statement. The globe’s largest commercial heat
treater UK based Bodycote on released on April 24/2013 their interim management
statement which is summarized below and can be found at
http://www.bodycote.com/en.aspx To cut a long story short growth continues at a
reasonable pace and stock markets reacted in a generally positive fashion with
share prices close to recent highs. April 29/2013
"Group revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2013 at £156.5m was 3.9%
higher than in the same period last year (2.9% at constant exchange rates) and
was in line with the Board’s expectations as stated in the 2012 annual results’
announcement on 27 February 2013. Acquisitions made in 2012 added 8.5%
(£12.8m) to Group revenue, whilst the organic revenue (at constant exchange
rates) was lower by 5.6% (£8.5m) compared to the first quarter of 2012. Excluding
acquisitions, however, the sales run rate for the Group at the end of the first
quarter of 2013 was slightly higher than the run rate in the final quarter of 2012.
Aerospace, Defence & Energy revenue was higher than in the first quarter of 2012
by 6.5% (5.5% at constant exchange rates) although organic revenue was lower by
0.5%. Aerospace and Defence revenue was higher by 6.2%, almost all of which was
attributable to acquisitions. Growth in the Group’s offshore oil and gas business was
good, but as anticipated at the time of the 2012 annual results’ announcement, did
not completely offset weaker demand for gas exploration and production in North
America. Overall, organic revenue in Oil & Gas was down by 5.1% but when
acquisitions are included, revenue was ahead 2.3%. The Industrial Gas Turbine
market continued the improvement seen in 2012 and revenue was ahead of the
same period last year by 17.5%, of which 11.2% was organic. The Automotive &
General Industrial business saw revenue increase by 2.4% (1.4% at constant
www.themonty.com

exchange rates). Organic revenue was lower than in the same period of 2012 by
6.9% but this was more than offset by the benefit of acquisitions completed in
2012. Within this, organic revenue growth from the Car and Light Truck sector
specifically was good in nearly all geographies, with 5.8% growth compared to the
first quarter of 2012. The growth was helped by further gains in market share. The
anticipated weak demand from the Heavy Truck sector together with some softness
in General Industrial, however, more than offset the gains from Car and Light
Truck."

Nitrex Metal Inc. One of the true success stories in the heat treating industry is
that of Nitrex Metal Inc. and its subsidiaries. Since the company's inception in 1984
it has managed to bring gas nitriding into mainstream heat treating and become a

name known on virtually every single continent. We have often felt that nitriding is
quite possibly the fastest growing segment of the industry. We at "The Monty"
recently met up with Chris Morawski, President of the commercial heat treating arm
of the company and he very kindly gave us the history of the company and a tour
of their location in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. April 26/2013
1984 Chris Morawski and Michel Korwin along with other investors
start Nitrex Metal Inc., in Montreal. At the time Chris is working full
time at Pratt & Whitney outside of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Originally the company was offering nitriding services and building
their own furnaces. The partners felt that nitriding was a technology
which had enormous potential but was not well recognized. >From
this staring point the company offered two things very unique at the
time; control of the process using nitriding potential and control of
the process using a standard PC, something unheard of at the time.
Late 1980’s the company starting marketing the technology with
the first customer being COLMEGNA in Italy and the second being H
& S Heat Treating in Port Robinson, Ontario, Canada. H & S started
with two furnaces bought from Nitrex under the name Nitrex Metal
Technologies Inc., in Burlington, Ontario with H & S and Nitrex
being equal partners in Nitrex Metal Technologies.
1993 the technology was gaining acceptance and significant growth
resulted from all around the world including England, France, New
Zealand and Australia.
1995 a brand new Nitrex Metal Technologies' plant was built in Mason, Michigan
with 2 Nitriding furnaces and Chris moved to Michigan to start the facility and
ending up staying for 10 years.
1998 Nitrex Metal Technologies in Burlington became 100% owned by H & S Heat
Treating and the Montreal and Mason, MI plants became 100% part of Nitrex Metal
Inc. It should be stressed that this was a very amicable separation and that the two
companies to this day enjoy a very close relationship.
2000 Nitrex Metal Inc. acquires a commercial heat treat in Aurora, IL which is
renamed Nitrex Inc.
2002 Nitrex Metal Inc., acquires Alloy Hard Surfacing in San Jose, CA and the name
is changed to Nitrex Inc.
www.themonty.com
2002 The company builds a new plant in Franklin, IN.
2007 Nitrex Inc., in Las Vegas, NV is opened bringing the total to 5 plants in the US
#1 in Canada and 1 in San Paulo..

While the company was built on Gas Nitriding it also offers significant amounts of
Vacuum, Vacuum Carburizing, Plasma and Endothermic Carburizing capacity (it is
worth noting that the Vacuum Carburizing portion of the business will be
expanding). The ownership structure to this day remains the same with Michel and
Chris the majority owners although each plant operates independently. Future plans
and current plans are quite impressive with the company slated to open two new
plants by the end of 2013. In addition 12,000 square feet was added to the Indiana
facility which will house 2 new gas nitriders to start. Not to be outdone but the
Chicago location has added a 12,000 square foot building which will have a 25,000
pound capacity gas nitrider with working dimensions of 1.6 meters X 4 ½ meters
deep (i.e. 63" x 177"). And for some trivia the largest gas nitrider the company has
is in Mason, MI with working dimensions of 2 ½ meters X 5 meters X 2 ½ meters
which can be seen in the photo below.

Jasco Heat Treat/Fairport, NY. According to a news report commercial heat
treater Jasco located just outside or Rochester suffered a small fire recently. Jasco

is a large and impressive commercial heat treater which has been around for many
years. April 25/2013
"Firefighters had to be extra careful fighting a fire near Turk Hill Road in Fairport on
Monday morning. News10NBC is told molten salt started leaking out of a furnace at
the Jasco Heat Treatment Plant around midnight. Firefighters say maintenance
workers noticed the leak which caused items to catch on fire. Fairport Fire Chief
Mike Gropp says they couldn't use water to put out the fire. "It's a non-water
building. We have to use dry powder or chemicals. Water reacts with molten salt in
a negative manner." Firefighters say the fire did not cause significant damage to
the building and no one was hurt."

So What Do Heat Treaters Get Paid? Commercial heat treating. Yesterday
Jim McNeal of International Search Partners gave us his very experienced idea of
what individuals working on the OEM side of things such as furnace building get
paid. Today he tells us about commercial heat treating. April 23/2013

Commercial Heat Treating : I did not include VP level and above as those
positions will vary widely depending upon the Company. Of course, the positions
described below are generic but this should be a fairly representative view.
General Managers: Some GM’s have plant manager responsibilities as well but for
the purposes of this article, I will assume not. The GM is the outward facing
presence of the Company and does not get overly concerned with “tactical” day-today
issues in the Plant. Their main concern is dealing with customers, dealing with
their boss(es) and ultimately Profit and Loss of the Plant. Good GM’s are worth their
proverbial weight in gold and command salaries in excess of 100K plus bonus plus a
car allowance. A wise Owner will offer the good ones a small bit of equity to lock
them in for the long haul.
Plant Managers: PM’s are responsible for the day-day operation
of the Plant and all employees report directly or indirectly to them.
They typically do not have P&L responsibility but are responsible
for everything else. These folks can make anywhere from 70K on
up and usually will get some sort of bonus based on performance.
Plant Metallurgist: Metallurgists often times are also the Quality
Managers and/or Lab Managers but for this article, we will separate
them out. Their main responsibility is the various processes the
Plant is involved with. A couple of asides with this position- This is
a great opportunity for a young Metallurgist to get their hands dirty
in our business and some Heat Treaters go that route, although
they are not easy to attract nor retain for the long haul. Oftentimes
a privately owned Heat Treat will have the Principal as the
Metallurgist; although, we have made lots of placements once they
decide to step back from the day-to-day operations of the
business. Expect a Plant Metallurgist to command anywhere from
65K-80K in salary, a little less for an entry-level candidate.
Quality Manager: As I mentioned above, sometimes this is the
Metallurgist but often it is a non-degreed person who has risen through the ranks.
They will typically supervise a number of quality technicians and run the Quality
department, sometimes with Lab responsibilities, sometimes not. These folks earn
anywhere from 60-75K.
Sales engineers: Two types of compensations plans are prevalent. One type of
plan is salary only, commensurate with experience. The other is salary plus some
sort of commission or bonus. As is the case for OEM’s, compensation depends on
how collaborative a sales effort the company uses, if Mfg Reps are involved, and
ultimately, personal preference of the company. For a salary only Sales Engineer,
expect to pay a base salary of 60-80K plus some sort of car allowance. If there is
commission involved, the salary may be as low as 50K + plus some sort of car
allowance.
www.themonty.com

Maintenance Supervisor: This is the lowest compensated position in a Heat
Treat, other than a basic furnace operator, but the case could be made that it is the
most important. Without a good preventative maintenance plan and good repair
capability when Furnaces go down, a commercial Heat Treater is out of business.
Generally, they are non-degreed folks who have worked their way up from an
hourly position on the floor and thus, it is difficult, perception-wise, to pay them at
a level equal to other key players. These folks make anywhere from 50K on up but
good ones are priceless to a commercial Heat Treat.
As always, I welcome your comments at jamesm@ispards.com or (619) 465-9621.
Jim McNeal is in his 20th year of recruiting in the Thermal Processing
Industry and since 1998, has been the Managing Recruiter of International
Search Partners in La Mesa, CA. In his “spare time”, Jim is a Naval
Reservist and has recently been recalled to Active Duty for a four month
deployment to the Middle East. And, in February, it was announced that the
President has nominated him for an appointment as a Rear Admiral.
LOI Thermprocess GmbH/Metall Technologie Holding Group (MTH). In the
world of European heat treating this news items ranks as a major announcement. It
would appear that LOI (who we think of mainly for thermal processing equipment in
the steel industry) has acquired MTH a group of new furnace builders largely based
in Europe. MTH includes B.M.I. Fours Industriels, Shanghai Huisen-MTH Industrial
Furnaces Co. Ltd., IVA Industrieöfen GmbH, MAHLER GmbH Industrieofenbau, RIVA
Sp. z.o.o. and SCHMETZ GmbH Vakuumöfen and when combined the group is one
of the largest furnace builders in the world. To see how MTH compares in size to
other European furnace builders we would suggest
http://www.themonty.com/largesteuropeanfurnacebuilders.htm April 23/2013
"Today, April 22/2013 LOI Thermprocess GmbH, a Tenova subsidiary company,
announced the acquisition of Metall Technologie Holding Group (MTH), from

team to provide comprehensive M&A and debt advisory services. In 2012, Baird
advised on 166 financings and global M&A transactions totalling more than $43
billion. Baird Managing Director Joachim Beickler, who led on the deal, said:
‘European Capital’s sale of MTH represents an important transaction for Baird
Investment Banking, and highlights the global reach of our platform and the depth
of our expertise in the core industrial technology sector’."
And for more details we have this press release: "Milan, April, 22 2013 - LOI
Thermprocess GmbH, a Tenova subsidiary company, has signed an agreement with
European Capital S.A. SICAR for the acquisition of the Metall Technologie Holding
Group (MTH). MTH is headquarted in Menden (Germany) and controls the five

and organization. This will expand product offerings into new areas while ensuring
continuous customer effectiveness. "This acquisition reinforces Tenova's position in
the heat treatment furnace industry "- commented Alberto Iperti, CEO of Tenova -
"MTH adds a growing segment with a high quality product, production process and
after- sales services".
Gianfelice Rocca, Techint Group Chairman said: "The acquisition of MTH confirms
the growth of Tenova in Germany. Tenova's total number of employees in Germany
will approach 1.000 across a variety of industrial companies with significant
technology intensity such as MTH itself and the other Tenova's subsidiaries
including LOI Thermprocess GmbH, Takraf GmbH and Re Energy GmbH

What Do Heat Treaters Get Paid? We are all curious about what our
counterparts are paid-it is part of human nature. So what does the Project Engineer
you are working with get paid for supervising the new furnace you just bought? Or
the fellow that sold you the furnace? Our good friend Jim McNeal, Managing
Recruiter of International Search Partners which we would consider the foremost

ecruiting firm in North America when it comes to the heat treating industry has
provided us with these thoughts. April 22/2013
OEM’s (Furnace and Oven Manufacturers): I did not include VP level and above
as those positions will vary widely depending upon the Company. Of course, the
positions described below are generic but this should be a fairly representative
view.
Project Engineers (Both Mechanical and Electrical): These are typically
degreed individuals although with enough experience, a degree may not be
required. Some of these folks do Project Management; some are only the Project
lead for design. Electrical engineers will generally not be the lead on a single project
but will spread themselves out over several projects. These folks can get anywhere
from 65K on the low side and into the 80’s on the high side. Typically, these
positions are exempt, ie. salaried positions with no overtime.
Designers, Draftsman, Detailers (Both Mechanical and Electrical): These are
typically non-degreed individuals who are the backbone of every Furnace/Oven
Manufacturer. They are typically non-exempt (Hourly) and can get anywhere
between $18/hour on up to $25+ per hour.
Application Engineers: These positions can also be called Proposal engineers,
Estimators, Inside Sales engineers, etc. What these folks do is put together the
quotes that go out to prospective customers. Granted, a lot of times the actual
Salesman do this but a wise Company will have this function done in-house and
allow the Sales Engineer to be out in the Field doing what they do best, SELLING.
Application engineers can make $65K on the low side while a seasoned Appl Eng
can end up well into the 80’s. Surprisingly, these are often the most highly sought
after people in our business and from a recruiting stand point, are very difficult to
source.
Field Service Engineers: I am not talking about people who work in the Shop; I
am talking about that rare and unusual breed of folks (sorry guys) who love to be
in the field installing and commissioning furnaces. Most of these gentleman (In
almost 20 years in this business, I have never run across a female FSE) are nonexempt
folks who get lots and lots of OT plus per diem and other perks for being on
the road. Good ones can often make over $100K in total compensation and usually
start out in the $25/hour range. Recently, we have seen some companies going to
a straight salary model…..the good news is no overtime; the bad news is that these
guys require a guaranteed 100K to go exempt. Recruiting-wise, if we run across a
good FSE who wants to make a change, they are literally a walking invoice for us.
www.themonty.com

Sales engineers: Two types of compensations plans are prevalent. One type of
plan is salary only, commensurate with experience. We see salary only plans with
OEM’s who have a very technical product, 99% of the time custom designed, with a
long sales cycle, as well as companies who do not have territories per se but sell as
a Team. This seems to work well for both parties. The Sales Engineer gets a base
salary with some sort of bonus plan based on individual/company performance; the
OEM gets a dedicated Sales Engineer with a relatively fixed cost. The other type of
plan is salary plus commission. The theory behind this type of plan is that in order
to face rejection on a daily basis, the carrot of commission needs to be out there to
motivate the sales person and reward producers. We see this type of plan with
OEM’s who manufacture a product that can be sold without a lot of custom design
needed ie a standard product line. A salary only Sales Engineer will make 80K+
plus.

compensation plan involves commission, expect the salary to drop by 20-30%
although interestingly enough, these sales people will generally make more money.
Commission can be a powerful motivator. As always, I welcome your comments at

Pawel Wyrzykowski/CEO, Seco Warwick. Today we present to you an interview
with Mr. Pawel Wyrzykowski, CEO of one of the largest furnace builders in the world
Seco Warwick based in Poland. April 16/2013
1) I have to say Pawel that I have been looking forward to asking you a
few questions about Seco Warwick and the heat treating world. To start off
I have to say I have never been entirely clear about the structure of Seco
Warwick. As an example you have a number of different locations around
the world-are these all divisions of Seco Warwick?
www.themonty.com

"After a transformation period we have been able to finally create a clear corporate
structure of the Seco/Warwick Group as of the beginning of 2013. So, right now we
have a small industrial management holding company (S/W SA) which, on the one
hand is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, and on the other – holds all
remaining shareholdings in our regional operational companies, such as S/W Eurpoe
(Poland), S/W Corporation (USA), Retech (USA), SWR (China) and SWA (India).
Apart from this we have 2 sales & service regional companies SWS (Germany) and
SW Russia. S/W Holding employes 5 Vice Presidents globally responsible for our 5
technology lines (business segments) and some functional managers, who are
globally responsible for purchasing, HR, finance and a few other functions. Apart
from this we developed a legal and management framework which sets up the rules
and relations of single companies with our global business segments and defines
the principles of joint projects."
2) I have always been curious-where did the name Seco Warwick come
from and when was the company started?
"Seco Warwick was originally the name only of the SW Corporation in the US, who
had acted as our previous parent company. Then, in 2006 the so called reverse
take over took place, where the Polish subsidiary took over its US parent company,
which in effect became a subsidiary. Until 2012 some management functions were
spread over 2 or 3 group companies. We decided to change it and right now we are
proud to have not only a very transparent corporate structure, but also a structure
which supports our strategy and the know-how transfer. "
3) How did you end up as the CEO of Seco Warwick?
"Until the end of 2011 I had been working for 13 years for a German industrial
company. Firstly and I had the honor to lead the East-European business for 10
years and then the last 3 years I spent on the corporate level in Germany being in
charge for all international activities. When I wanted to return to Poland,
Seco/Warwick was searching for somebody of my profile, not necessarily with
furnace experience. From the moment we met, it was a short way to agree on my
assignment. I respect this opportunity very much, as there are really not too many
truly global industrial companies with their HQ in Poland."
4) When I think of Seco Warwick I think of vacuum furnaces first,
aluminum furnaces second and everything else further down the list. Is
this a fair assessment? Would you care to share with us a breakdown of
the various types of furnaces you build in terms of a % of total sales? For

Monday Morning Briefing. Let's start with Canada today where we see that
commercial heat treater Atlantic Heat Treating in Ajax, Ontario will shortly be

installing a large capacity gas nitrider. Atlantic heat treating is owned by Mr. Jon
Mathews who interestingly enough does not come from a heat treating background
which makes him rather unusual. It is a testament to hard work and lots of
common sense that Jon has grown the company substantially over the years and is
constantly adding more capacity. Still in Canada we see that Exactatherm is
adding a new furnace from Seco Warwick, press release below. By the way this is
the second large vacuum Seco has sold into Mississauga in the past year, the first
being a large 12 bar for which no press release has yet been issued. April 15/2013
"Meadville, Pennsylvania–SECO/WARWICK Corp. has received an order for
a CaseMaster Evolution® D12 vacuum furnace for a Canadian heat
treatment company. The contract was signed recently and SECO/WARWICK Corp.
will provide the equipment for Exactatherm at its Mississauga, Canada facility.
SECO/WARWICK officials said they will have the furnace in place in the third
quarter of 2013. The CaseMaster Evolution® vacuum furnace is a two-chamber
furnace with oil and 2-bar gas quenching. The furnace comprises a heating chamber
and quench chamber with a gas quench above an oil tank. This furnace design
allows for significant increases in flexibility and productivity. About

www.themonty.com

In India we ran across something which rather surprised us, Therelek Engineers
Private Limited a commercial heat treater in Bangalore claims to be the first in
the country to have achieved NADCAP and that it is the ONLY
commercial that is NADCAP certified. This was not our impression
but perhaps we are mistaken. Going to Germany we understand
that Energy Optimization company Dibalog has hired a customer
service engineer to handle their sales in North America. He is a
fellow by the name of Trent Boehner and he can be reached at
t.boehner@dibalog.com We ran across a fellow in the Netherlands
who has a blog in which he analyzes commercial heat treats
Bodycote and Aalberts Industries
http://somanalystblog.blogspot.nl/2013/02/speculative-piecepotential-us-heat.html.
Kind of interesting and it is easy to see that
he follows "The Monty". In the US we have a few interesting
items. First we see that GE has acquired Lufkin Industries in
Lufkin, TX. It's worth mentioning because Lufkin (who amongst
other things produces large gears) has a large in house heat
treating department which we have profiled in the past. In
California Bodycote is installing a new 20' X 8' X 5' furnace
capable of handling 30,000 pound loads at 2250F. This will be
intended to serve the aerospace and engine markets. Nitrex is
hosting another of their Nitriding Seminars this one in Las Vegas,
NV. "Nitrex Metal Inc. is pleased to announce the return of Nitriding Symposium to
Las Vegas, USA this November. Already in its 3rd edition, Nitriding Symposium is a
one of a kind event devoted exclusively to controlled nitriding and nitrocarburizing,
relying on academic researchers and industry professionals to deliver the latest
technologies and developments in the field. Stay tuned for additional details. Visit
www.nitriding.info starting on April 26 for more information".
And to round things out we conclude this Monday Morning Briefing by returning to a
news item from the past week. American Brazing division of Paulo Products is an
enormous operation which will shortly be installing their 26th vacuum furnace in
their 150,000 square foot building just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. We had
wondered whether this plant has the largest installed base of vacuum furnaces in a
commercial heat treat in North America. It turns out not as you can see from the
post below from Mr. Bill Jones of Solar Atmospheres. By the way there is one
other in the US that might rival these two however they are so publicity shy that we
dare not speak their name. "For one facility Solar Atmospheres, Souderton, Pa. will
be hard to surpass. We have 28 vacuum furnaces on line up and running. By the
end of this year we are adding 5 additional vacuum furnaces, currently on order.
Two are smaller production furnaces for vacuum brazing, a production size 10 bar
www.themonty.com

vacuum carburizing furnace, a 20 bar vacuum alloy hardening furnace, and an all
metal mid size hot zone furnace for high vacuum processing of medical components
like pacemaker implants. All of our original furnaces were built by Vacuum Furnace
Systems Corp and the most recent furnaces since year 2000 built by our sister
company Solar Manufacturing Inc. These numbers do not include furnaces in
operation Solar Hermitage, Pa. or Solar Fontana, Calif. both major vacuum furnace
processing sites. William R. Jones, CEO"
What's Coming Up? Let's have a quick look at what you can expect to see on
"The Monty" in the near future in addition to our regular news items, trends and
rumors. First we will have interviews with several well known individuals in the
industry such as Mr. Pawel Wyrzykowski, CEO of furnace builder
Seco/Warwick, Mr. Ben Rassieur, President of one of the world's largest family
owned heat treats, Paulo Products and Mr. Bill Disler, President of furnace
builder AFC-Holcroft. (incidentally if you would like to be interviewed please let us
know and we would be happy to work with you). Also upcoming is a report and
photos of several commercial and captive heat treats in Argentina and Italy with
a close look at Nitrex in Las Vegas also in the mix. And within the next two weeks
an updated list of the Largest Furnace Builders in North America-both vacuum
and atmosphere. To give you a taste the photo below shows the assembly area of
one of the companies on the list GM Enterprises in CA who also sent us a very
interesting idea about the size of the company and their focus. April 15/2013
SECO/Warwick/Bodycote. To round out the week we start off with this press
release from SECO/WARWICK and a nice vacuum furnace order they received from
the world's largest commercial heat treater, Bodycote. Not sure which Bodycote
plant this is for as it could be for one of 30 or 40. By the way notice a pattern here?
SECO is becoming very "vocal" about their new orders which is a strategy we agree
with. April 12/2013
www.themonty.com

"SECO/WARWICK EUROPE S.A. has received an order for a 10.0CaseMaster
Evolution® T12 Vacuum furnace for the world’s largest thermal processing services

Plansee Press Release. Molybdenum and hot zone supplier Plansee sent us this
press release abut a new design of hot zone for "MIM" furnaces. Seems like a cool
idea. April 12/2013
www.themonty.com
"MIM Hot Zone Door Operation - Simplified. The molybdenum hot zone is the
heart of every MIM furnace. With proper design, together with its efficient heating
elements, it guarantees a very clean environment and ensures that high

temperatures are achieved while its shield packs minimize heat loss. Well-designed
hot zones have a long service life, offer short heating and cooling cycles, and
distribute heat evenly. With its creep-resistant molybdenum alloys and creatively
engineered lightweight construction methods, PLANSEE is continuously improving
the energy efficiency and performance of hot zones for high-temperature furnaces.
However, the hot zone's performance capabilities are just part of the story. Ease of
installation and ease of use are also desired criteria for furnace operators and
PLANSEE provides both.
Here is an example: PLANSEE has done extensive work with the design of the MIM
hot zone door. After all, it is possible that these doors could be opened and closed
several times between cycles. With other designs two hands are necessary to open
the door to the hot zone. And prior to opening the door, it is necessary to
disengage the actuating mechanism for the shutter assembly which enables rapid
cooling. Multiple step processes like these can increase the possibility of operator
error. Nevertheless, these steps are unavoidable with many of the current designs.
With the new design from PLANSEE, it is no longer necessary to disengage and
reengage the door fastenings when opening and closing the
doors. When the door is closed, the fastening mechanism
automatically engages, due to the counterweighted handle,
and ensures a tight seal. Preinstalled shutters. Typically, the
fastening assembly for the cooling shutter mechanism is
supplied separately and has to be installed on-site. PLANSEE
hot zones begin making things easier for you right away. With
a PLANSEE hot zone the shutters and related guide rods are
preinstalled to enable a simpler installation. As an added bonus, PLANSEE has
redesigned the shutters in order to further reduce heat loss. Retort chamber- Easy
to open.
PLANSEE also has a new design for the door of the retort as well. Thermal
deformation is the reason why these doors can be difficult to open. Thanks to
reinforcing structural angles on both the inside and outside of the retort door it has
increased resistance to warping. Due to these reinforcements and special
molybdenum alloys, the new retort doors are subject to less distortion and can be
engaged and disengaged more reliably without sticking. The PLANSEE door is
manually affixed to the retort and held in place with a series of hooks located on
both sides of the retort. These specially designed counterweighted hooks employ
the use of the door’s own weight to provide a tight seal against the retort opening
ensuring atmosphere integrity. In the end this means that loading and unloading
your work loads can be done quickly, easily, and efficiently using a PLANSEE MIM
hot zone and retort.

Paulo Products Company, American Brazing Division/Willoughby, Ohio,
USA. So which commercial heat treater in North America has the most number of
vacuum furnaces in 1 location? While we can't say for sure we would suggest that
quite possibly it is American Brazing (a division of Paulo Products) located in
Willoughby, Ohio. The company is currently installing their 25th vacuum with
number 26 arriving shortly (both are GM Enterprises units with 6 bar quenching).
This is a top notch operation with immaculate equipment as you can see from the
photo below. If there are any commercials with more vacuums in a single location
we would like to hear about it. The first photo below is very recent, the second was
taken about 3 years ago but both give you a good idea about how impressive this
plant is. April 11/2013
Bluewater Thermal Solutions/John Pyle. Bluewater the largest US based
commercial heat treater has just hired John Pyle with the illustrious title of
"Director-Commercial". Bluewater is a very progressive company and I would
imagine we will be hearing a great deal more about them in the future. April
10/2013
"Bluewater Thermal Solutions Announces the Hiring of John Pyle. Bluewater
Thermal Solutions recently announced the hiring of John Pyle as their Director –
Commercial effective March 25, 2013. Mr. Pyle brings over 30 years of sales and

SECO/WARWICK Press Release. "Meadville, Pennsylvania–SECO/WARWICK
Corp. has received an order for an advanced new furnace that will provide improved
durability for stainless steel heat treating."This vacuum furnace will come with a
15-bar gas quenching system. The Super Expanite process improves the hardness
and corrosion resistance for stainless steel. It is not a coating, but rather a new
treatment process. SECO/WARWICK officials said they expect to have the
equipment in place by early summer of this year. April 10/2013
About SECO/WARWICK CO. The Vacuum Team offers vacuum heat treating
furnaces for hardening, tempering, annealing, solution heat treating, brazing,
sintering, carburizing, carbonitriding, high vacuum, CVD–graphitizing and

heating elements are available for both new and used equipment. Retech LLC
provides vacuum melting equipment. Visit http://www.secowarwick.com/
Gas vs.; Electricity. The decision as to whether to use natural gas as opposed to
electricity to heat furnaces comes down to two issues, availability and pricing.
Obviously if natural gas is not available there is no decision to be made which
means generally the decision comes down to relative cost. Certainly in most areas
of North America this is a "no brainer" natural gas is far cheaper than electricity and
the long term forecast is that the spread will only widen. One of the charts below
shows natural gas pricing over the years, the second electricity. We wouldn't have
to debate a second about which energy source to use. And while we are looking at
charts the furthest chart down shows nickel pricing and all we can say is all is quiet
on the nickel front. April 9/2013

Monday Morning Briefing. Let’s start off with a couple of "people" items. It would
appear that Julian Bayshore "Representative Director", Japan with Bodycote (not
quite sure what that title means) has parted ways with the company. Bruce
Zmyslinski, Key Account Manager in the US for Edwards Vacuum left the
company the end of March. Edwards is one of the largest vacuum pump suppliers in
the world and their banner ad can be found on this page. Going back to 2011
Goodrich announced that they would be closing their Cleveland, Ohio facility which
made aerospace landing gear. The remaining equipment will be auctioned off April
23 and 24th and this includes the heat treating equipment which features a
www.themonty.com

monster Lindberg Hi Heat Gantry furnace which can be seen below. This thing
has working dimensions of 72" diameter and 16' high and can handle parts up to
15,000 pounds. Additional equipment includes a couple of generators and a few
other pit furnaces including a large salt quench. While Goodrich does some heat
treating in house a great deal is outsourced. I can't imagine a used equipment
dealer buying something so specialized but you never know. We will be curious to
know where this ends up. April 8/2013
Moving to Brazil we see that commercial heat treater TÊCNOTEMPERA, a
commercial heat treater, in Santa Catharina in southern Brazil just successfully
started up their first vacuum furnace. This was purchased from Seco/Warwick
and has working dimensions of 600 mm x 600 mm x 950 mm and 12 bar nitrogen
quenching. Apparently the plan is that this will be the first of a number of Seco
Warwick vacuum furnaces. I know that commercial heat treating in Brazil is
struggling these days so I hope that this impressive investment pays off. Metal
Treating Institute (MTI) the largest organization in North America of commercial
heat treaters is having a regional meeting in Big Sky Resort in Montana July 19-20.
Featured speakers will include our good friend the "Doctor", Dan Herring (boy this
man gets around). Moving to the field of rumors we have an interesting one. A
brand New Commercial Heat Treat is being constructed in the Rockford, Illinois
area. While we don't have a clue who is behind this we do understand that it will
offer normalizing, annealing and continuous furnaces. Hey we have to mention
something about Italy for a change (although we will have more about heat
treating in Italy in a few weeks). We see that one of the largest new furnace
builders in the country Cieffe is delivering to Salzgitter in France a turnkey
furnace line for the heat treatment of steel tubes for the oil industry. This is an
automated line capable of handling parts up to 13 meters long with a maximum
temperature of 1120C.
www.themonty.com
Moving to a particular "peeve" of ours we ran across another one of those "crappy"
Heat Treat Studies claiming to know the size of the North American captive and

commercial heat treating market. I have no idea who puts these things together or
where they get their information but this most recent one was so far off the mark
as to be laughable. Our personal feeling is that any of these studies are at best
educated guesses at most within 20% of being accurate but a number of studies we
have seen aren't within 80% of being accurate. While there are probably a couple
out there that are reasonably accurate our personal feeling is resist the urge to buy
a complete study and contact list for several hundred dollars. Your money would be
better spent at the race track. And to round things out our friends at commercial
heat treat Metlab in PA sent us this press release. Metlab is worth mentioning in
that the company is very specialized and has probably the largest pit carburizing
furnaces available in North America.
"Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz Visits Metlab Mark Podob (l) and Jim Conybear
(r) owners of Metlab, Philadelphia, PA, welcomed the Honorable Allyson Schwartz,
Congresswoman to Metlab on Thursday, April 4, 2013. The Congresswoman,
Representative for the 13th District in Pennsylvania, toured the heat treat plant
looking at the two largest pit furnaces in North America as well as such diverse
projects as the manufacture of wire supports for the arresting cable mechanism on
aircraft carriers, carburizing and hardening crawler shafts for steam shovels, and
gears being nitrided for Navy destroyers. Also toured was the company's black
oxide line used for finishing fasteners, machined parts and other components, its
in-house metallurgical laboratory, and sandblast cleaning operation. Discussions
focused on issues facing small businesses, Metlab concerns for the future of
manufacturing in Southeastern Pennsylvania and ways for attracting and retaining a
skilled workforce".

Solar Atmospheres/Vacuum Carburizing. While Vacuum Carburizing is best
known for heat treatment of automotive transmission gears it can't be disputed that
the technology is moving into the realms of the aerospace industry as you can see
by the press release below. April 4/2013
Souderton, PA. "April 3, 2013 – Solar Atmospheres of Eastern PA recently
received Nadcap approval for carburizing. The Souderton, PA plant can now better
serve the aerospace market with this accreditation. The already stringent review of
quality procedures and processes was even more challenging for Solar. The Nadcap
audit checklist is based on conventional carburizing processes which are controlled
by carbon potential, but Solar’s patented low pressure vacuum carburizing (LPVC)
process works a bit differently. The most notable benefit of LPVC over traditional
carburizing is the absence of intergranular oxidation (IGO). IGO-free parts eliminate
the cost and time required for additional machining. In addition LPVC offers
controllable, predictable and very uniform case depths as well as the ability to
carburize in blind and very small diameter holes. Solar’s quality and technical
departments collaborated extensively to successfully meet Nadcap requirements
while navigating the differences between the two processes. Solar passed the audit
without any findings and satisfactorily answered all questions. This carburizing
accreditation joins the Souderton plant’s other Nadcap approvals for heat treating
and brazing. For more information or to request a quote, please contact Mike Moyer

Heat Treat Fire. While fires in heat treat companies is a not uncommon
occurrence it is rather rare to see a fire break out in a building where a heat treater
has just left as is the case here. April 4/2013

"Firefighters quickly extinguish a fire that broke out in a Milwaukie building slated
for demolition to make way for the MAX Orange Line. Clackamas Fire District 1
Firefighters quickly extinguished a fire Tuesday in a Milwaukie building that will be
torn down to make way for the Portland-Milwaukie light rail project. TriMet now
owns the building that formerly housed Beaver Heat Treating Corp., 2505 S.E.
Moores St., where contractors were salvaging parts of the air conditioning system,
said TriMet spokeswoman Roberta Altstadt. "It appears that sparks from a cutting
torch set the fire," Altstadt said. Contractors in the building were safely evacuated
and no injuries were reported. Brandon Paxton, Clackamas Fire District 1
spokesman, said the fire was reported at 2:11 p.m. A total of 10 pieces of
firefighting apparatus responded. Beaver Heat Treating is a second-generation
family business that operated on the same site since 1955, counting the Ford Motor
Co. and the U.S. military among its customers. At one point, the company ran 26
furnaces in the 32,000-square-foot building. TriMet relocated the business when the
MAX Orange Line light rail route was selected".
SECO/Warwick/Vacuum Furnace Order China. SECO is obviously doing well
these days and they certainly like to advertise their new orders which we always
like to see. April 3/2013
SECO/WARWICK Europe S.A. "have started manufacturing of a large unit for
heat treatment of titanium, model 2.0VP-4066/138MHVS, for one of the major
aviation manufacturers in China. The furnace, which will feature a working area of
1200 x 1200 x 3500 mm, will be equipped with an “all metal” heating chamber and
a system of deep vacuum. The length of the vacuum chamber was dictated by the
requirement of processing a titanium element of an aircraft wing. The furnace will
be made in accordance with the standard AMS2750D class II tooling type A.
Other furnace specifications:
-heating chamber with molybdenum and SS insulation
- working vacuum 1x10-5 mbar
-cooling gas: argon
- electrical loader
- a tray to place workload in the furnace working space.
The SECO/WARWICK Group and its five business segments (BS) produce
vacuum furnaces (BS VAC), atmosphere furnaces (BS ATM), controlled atmosphere
aluminum brazing furnaces (BS CAB), aluminum process furnaces (BS AP) and
vacuum metallurgy equipment Retech (BS VME) in its manufacturing sites in Poland
(SECO/WARWICK Europe S.A.), the United States of America (SECO/WARWICK
Corp. + RETECH Systems LLC), India (SECO/WARWICK Allied Ltd.) and China
(SECO/WARWICK RETECH Mfg. (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.). Sales, service & spare parts

SECO/WARWICK/New Furnace Order. Man we seem to be mentioning a lot of
new furnace orders for SECO these days, here is yet another. April 3/2013
Meadville, Pennsylvania–SECO/WARWICK Corp. is set to commission a
graphitization vacuum furnace for a U.S. material manufacturer."The
horizontal front-loading vacuum furnace is designed for sintering, heat treating,
degassing and graphitizing in vacuum or partial pressure inert atmosphere. The
furnace has a maximum operating temperature of 2500 ºF and is 17 feet wide, 16
feet tall and 16 feet long. SECO/WARWICK officials said they are providing a “turnkey”
installation and expect to have the equipment running soon. The advanced
furnace can have work loaded directly on the furnace hearth piers or as fixtured.
Material will be loaded into this furnace with a SECO/WARWICK designed and built
forklift style loader.
PhoenixTM/Florida. Based in the UK temperature uniformity experts PhoenixTM
has this announcement about a new location they have in Florida to help conquer
the North American market. For further details their ad can be found on this page.
April 2/2013
New PhoenixTM Facility in Florida; "To better serve manufacturing industries
using heat treatment processes in North America, Phoenix Temperature
Measurement (PhoenixTM) has opened a facility in the Sunshine State of Florida.
According to Dave Plester, vice-president of PhoenixTM, LLC, "We wanted to give
our customers a real person at the end of our telephone line, and not just "press
this for that" or voicemail - and it was important for us to have answers to buyers’
questions in a North American time-zone. Also, we are now able to stock equipment
in the U.S. and address urgent needs - for example, a data logger on loan to cover
periods when our users' equipment is being calibrated" PhoenixTM has incorporated
in Florida and is headquartered in Clearwater. "It is a nice place to work," admits
Dave Plester, "but we are here for strictly business reasons. Our premises are
within the Foreign Trade Zone of St-Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport, a
hub for UPS cargo jets and with good connections to Canada. Also, just across the
www.themonty.com

Bay from Tampa, we can fly direct to the United Kingdom where our European
operations are based. Finally, Florida is a business and tax friendly state with
outstanding communications as well as being a vibrant economy in its own right."
The North American heat treatment industry demands top quality of service levels
and interest is high in thermal profiling systems. "Things are hotting-up and since
incorporating here we have secured several major sales in NY State, Georgia, and
Tennessee" says Dave Plester."
