Introduction<br />

So what are the highlights of the <strong>May</strong> 201 issue of "<strong>The</strong> <strong>Monty</strong>"? To start off we have<br />

updated our list of the 15 largest new furnace builders in North America which makes<br />

for rather interesting reading. Let us not forget that we have two very interesting<br />

articles about what commercial heat treaters get paid and also those who toil in the<br />

OEM business-meaning the suppliers to the industry-the next time you face a supplier<br />

you will have a good idea what he is getting paid. A favorite of ours is a history of Nitrex<br />

over the years and specifically Nitrex, USA. An interview with Mr. Pawel Wyrzykowski,<br />

CEO of Seco/Warwick is included, an announcement about a major furnace builder<br />

acquisition in Europe and new furnace order press releases abound.<br />

As always feel free to provide us with your questions, surplus equipment listings<br />

thoughts and comments.<br />

Best regards,<br />

<strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />

Largest North American Furnace Builders. It dates all the way back to 2007<br />

when we put together a list of the largest furnace builders in North America which<br />

means we are long overdue to update the list. When talking about the largest<br />

builders we based this upon several criteria. First the ranking is in terms of annual<br />

sales. Second this is firms which concentrate on the heat treating industry as<br />

opposed to the steel industry or kilns. So for the purposes of this report we are<br />

looking at builders who would typically supply batch IQ furnaces,<br />

vacuum furnaces, pushers, cast and mesh belt lines, aluminum<br />

furnaces and rotary hearths. <strong>The</strong> most difficult part of our task is<br />

due to the fact that almost without exception all of these<br />

companies are privately owned and reluctant to share sales<br />

figures. However heat treaters are generally a very open bunch<br />

and at the end of the day almost 75% responded with sales figures<br />

of which probably half gave their permission to print their sales,<br />

with the other half providing figures only as a reference point for<br />

our list. Obviously this is the "honor" system but hey if you can't<br />

trust a furnace builder who can you trust? I will say the comments<br />

and guidance was much appreciated. Without further ado; <strong>May</strong><br />

1/2013<br />

1) Ipsen/Rockford, IL. It comes as no surprise to us that Ipsen,<br />

either the largest or second largest furnace builder in the world<br />

would be #1 on our list based upon their sales and manufacturing<br />

in North America. Based in Rockford, IL sources told us that annual<br />

sales in 2012 were $90 to $100 million USD which is only Ipsen<br />

USA and excludes all other global Ipsen companies–some of which<br />

export into the USA. http://www.ipsenusa.com/index.php<br />

www.themonty.com<br />

2) AFC-Holcroft/Wixom, Michigan. To get a feel for AFC-Holcroft we went to the<br />

President and CEO, Mr. Bill Disler who provided us with this very concise answer<br />

about the company.


"Dear Gord: Thank you for your ongoing interest in promoting market awareness in<br />

the heat treat industry. In today’s environment, I often find such simple questions<br />

as sales volume becoming a more complicated question to answer. With many<br />

companies having various relationships, partners and joint ventures around the<br />

world, including AFC-Holcroft, I am often cautious on how to best state sales<br />

volume and I expect others have similar considerations. However, to give you as<br />

simple an answer as possible, AFC-Holcroft’s annual sales, including affiliate<br />

companies, were approximately $80-90 million in 2012. This is inclusive of both our<br />

atmosphere and vacuum equipment and comprises equipment on a global level.<br />

AFC-Holcroft continues to see a tremendous demand for our atmosphere furnace<br />

equipment, specifically multi-row pushers and sealed quench batch. <strong>The</strong> belief of<br />

the past that large production equipment such as multi-row pushers would become<br />

obsolete in favor of more flexible alternatives is clearly not what we are<br />

experiencing in the marketplace. <strong>The</strong>re is still a sufficient volume of parts requiring<br />

heat treatment to easily justify larger production equipment which provides<br />

significant cost and quality benefits for their users. In the sealed quench<br />

marketplace, I am very pleased that our group has expanded our market share with<br />

both our large captive customers as well as smaller commercial heat treat users<br />

that are seeing the benefits of our equipment design. We are looking forward to a<br />

strong 2013 but remain cautious while we watch the uncertainties in key<br />

geographic markets such as China and Europe. Best regards, AFC-Holcroft, Bill<br />

Disler, President & CEO". http://www.afc-holcroft.com/<br />

3)Can Eng International/Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Can Eng provided us<br />

with this information-incidentally Can-Eng is the largest Canadian furnace builder.<br />

"Sales are approximately $40 to $50 million/year with 100 direct employees and a<br />

sub-contract base of contractors and fabricators that can rise to 200. We are<br />

growing rapidly, with strong sales coming from three key areas in order of revenue:<br />

Steel Industry, Aluminum and Mesh Belts". http://www.can-eng.com/ Continued<br />

Used Equipment Available. Our latest additions are an Abar Ipsen 1500 CFH<br />

Endo Generator, a small Selas Batch IQ Furnace, a Surface Super 30 Line a<br />

SECO/Warwick, ENGEFOR, Brazil. Furnace builder SECO/WARWICK has long<br />

proclaimed that they want to be one of the largest in the world and the acquisition<br />

below brings the company a step closer. <strong>May</strong> 1/2013<br />

"SECO/WARWICK takes over 100% of the shares of Brazilian heat treatment<br />

manufacturer ENGEFOR in Jundiai, Sao Paulo, and covers the<br />

Brazilian and South American market with an own manufacturing,<br />

service and sales facility now. SECO/WARWICK and the owners of<br />

ENGEFOR Indústria e Comércio Ltda., a Brazilian furnace<br />

manufacturer based in the industrial belt of Sao Paulo City in<br />

Jundiai, Sao Paulo State, have signed a contract for the acquisition<br />

of 100% of the shares of ENGEFOR at the end of April 2013.<br />

ENGEFOR has been serving the Brazilian market with high quality<br />

brazing, drying, curing, sintering and heat treatment<br />

furnaces/equipment and with reliable service for more than 20<br />

years. SECO/WARWICK will extend the scope of products offered<br />

by ENGEFOR with the products of its five business segments and<br />

will integrate ENGEFOR’s manufacturing and service capabilities in<br />

its international network. ENGEFOR employs around 50 and will<br />

change its name to SECO/WARWICK do Brasil, Industria de Fornos<br />

Ltda. <strong>The</strong> former owners of the company, Aparicio Vilademir<br />

Freitas and Yassuhiro Sassaqui, will remain in the management of<br />

the company and will be reinforced by Thomas Kreuzaler, who will<br />

take a seat for the SECO/WARWICK Group. SECO/WARWICK<br />

expects the profitable company to grow further and faster by the<br />

additional products and services it is able to offer now. Brazilian customers now<br />

have direct access to the equipment, technologies and processes of<br />

www.themonty.com


SECO/WARWICK via a local manufacturing and service site in Brazil. This<br />

investment in the Brazilian market is a milestone in the global strategy of the<br />

SECO/WARWICK Group and will contribute to the accomplishment of the goals that<br />

the Group set for its growth in the next years."<br />

Are Things Slowing Down? <strong>The</strong> answer to this question would be an unqualified<br />

YES. Exhibit A would be the latest numbers from Metal <strong>Treat</strong>ing Institute (MTI)<br />

http://www.heattreat.net/ which recently reported that amongst their members<br />

YTD sales for the heat treating industry were down 8.5% from the previous three<br />

month period in 2012. This decline was reflected in every area of the US and<br />

Canada with the exception of the Pacific Coast which saw a very modest increase of<br />

2%. More anecdotal evidence comes from our captive and commercial heat treating<br />

friends across the continent who virtually without exception report slowing growth.<br />

This is most obvious in the auto industry which while still busy has slowed to some<br />

extent and the oil and gas industries in the southern US which has also slowed<br />

slightly. BUT the kicker is that nobody is panicking, everybody expects that the<br />

slowdown will be relatively modest and that by the end of the year things will be<br />

picking up. So folks this is not 2009 part II but rather a relatively modest slowdown<br />

which is not unexpected after the torrid growth most heat treaters have been<br />

seeing over the past year. April 30/2013<br />

National <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>/Houston, Texas, USA. <strong>The</strong> newest commercial heat treater<br />

in North America is National <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong> in Houston, Texas which has just entered<br />

production. We had the chance to visit this shop this week and we have to say it is<br />

an impressive operation with 25,000 square feet to start with more to come,<br />

vacuum, gas nitriding, batch IQ and carbottom capacity. To give you a flavor for<br />

the company we have the photos below showing a large Ipsen bottom load unit and<br />

several Surface Super 30 Allcases. One of the photos shows Gord Montgomery and<br />

Bodycote Interim Management Statement. <strong>The</strong> globe’s largest commercial heat<br />

treater UK based Bodycote on released on April 24/2013 their interim management<br />

statement which is summarized below and can be found at<br />

http://www.bodycote.com/en.aspx To cut a long story short growth continues at a<br />

reasonable pace and stock markets reacted in a generally positive fashion with<br />

share prices close to recent highs. April 29/2013<br />

"Group revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2013 at £156.5m was 3.9%<br />

higher than in the same period last year (2.9% at constant exchange rates) and<br />

was in line with the Board’s expectations as stated in the 2012 annual results’<br />

announcement on 27 February 2013. Acquisitions made in 2012 added 8.5%<br />

(£12.8m) to Group revenue, whilst the organic revenue (at constant exchange<br />

rates) was lower by 5.6% (£8.5m) compared to the first quarter of 2012. Excluding<br />

acquisitions, however, the sales run rate for the Group at the end of the first<br />

quarter of 2013 was slightly higher than the run rate in the final quarter of 2012.<br />

Aerospace, Defence & Energy revenue was higher than in the first quarter of 2012<br />

by 6.5% (5.5% at constant exchange rates) although organic revenue was lower by<br />

0.5%. Aerospace and Defence revenue was higher by 6.2%, almost all of which was<br />

attributable to acquisitions. Growth in the Group’s offshore oil and gas business was<br />

good, but as anticipated at the time of the 2012 annual results’ announcement, did<br />

not completely offset weaker demand for gas exploration and production in North<br />

America. Overall, organic revenue in Oil & Gas was down by 5.1% but when<br />

acquisitions are included, revenue was ahead 2.3%. <strong>The</strong> Industrial Gas Turbine<br />

market continued the improvement seen in 2012 and revenue was ahead of the<br />

same period last year by 17.5%, of which 11.2% was organic. <strong>The</strong> Automotive &<br />

General Industrial business saw revenue increase by 2.4% (1.4% at constant<br />

www.themonty.com


exchange rates). Organic revenue was lower than in the same period of 2012 by<br />

6.9% but this was more than offset by the benefit of acquisitions completed in<br />

2012. Within this, organic revenue growth from the Car and Light Truck sector<br />

specifically was good in nearly all geographies, with 5.8% growth compared to the<br />

first quarter of 2012. <strong>The</strong> growth was helped by further gains in market share. <strong>The</strong><br />

anticipated weak demand from the Heavy Truck sector together with some softness<br />

in General Industrial, however, more than offset the gains from Car and Light<br />

Truck."<br />

Nitrex Metal Inc. One of the true success stories in the heat treating industry is<br />

that of Nitrex Metal Inc. and its subsidiaries. Since the company's inception in 1984<br />

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<br />

quite possibly the fastest growing segment of the industry. We at "<strong>The</strong> <strong>Monty</strong>"<br />

recently met up with Chris Morawski, President of the commercial heat treating arm<br />

of the company and he very kindly gave us the history of the company and a tour<br />

of their location in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. April 26/2013<br />

1984 Chris Morawski and Michel Korwin along with other investors<br />

start Nitrex Metal Inc., in Montreal. At the time Chris is working full<br />

time at Pratt & Whitney outside of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.<br />

Originally the company was offering nitriding services and building<br />

their own furnaces. <strong>The</strong> partners felt that nitriding was a technology<br />

which had enormous potential but was not well recognized. >From<br />

this staring point the company offered two things very unique at the<br />

time; control of the process using nitriding potential and control of<br />

the process using a standard PC, something unheard of at the time.<br />

Late 1980’s the company starting marketing the technology with<br />

the first customer being COLMEGNA in Italy and the second being H<br />

& S <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ing in Port Robinson, Ontario, Canada. H & S started<br />

with two furnaces bought from Nitrex under the name Nitrex Metal<br />

Technologies Inc., in Burlington, Ontario with H & S and Nitrex<br />

being equal partners in Nitrex Metal Technologies.<br />

1993 the technology was gaining acceptance and significant growth<br />

resulted from all around the world including England, France, New<br />

Zealand and Australia.<br />

1995 a brand new Nitrex Metal Technologies' plant was built in Mason, Michigan<br />

with 2 Nitriding furnaces and Chris moved to Michigan to start the facility and<br />

ending up staying for 10 years.<br />

1998 Nitrex Metal Technologies in Burlington became 100% owned by H & S <strong>Heat</strong><br />

<strong>Treat</strong>ing and the Montreal and Mason, MI plants became 100% part of Nitrex Metal<br />

Inc. It should be stressed that this was a very amicable separation and that the two<br />

companies to this day enjoy a very close relationship.<br />

2000 Nitrex Metal Inc. acquires a commercial heat treat in Aurora, IL which is<br />

renamed Nitrex Inc.<br />

2002 Nitrex Metal Inc., acquires Alloy Hard Surfacing in San Jose, CA and the name<br />

is changed to Nitrex Inc.<br />

www.themonty.com<br />

2002 <strong>The</strong> company builds a new plant in Franklin, IN.<br />

2007 Nitrex Inc., in Las Vegas, NV is opened bringing the total to 5 plants in the US<br />

#1 in Canada and 1 in San Paulo..


While the company was built on Gas Nitriding it also offers significant amounts of<br />

Vacuum, Vacuum Carburizing, Plasma and Endothermic Carburizing capacity (it is<br />

worth noting that the Vacuum Carburizing portion of the business will be<br />

expanding). <strong>The</strong> ownership structure to this day remains the same with Michel and<br />

Chris the majority owners although each plant operates independently. Future plans<br />

and current plans are quite impressive with the company slated to open two new<br />

plants by the end of 2013. In addition 12,000 square feet was added to the Indiana<br />

facility which will house 2 new gas nitriders to start. Not to be outdone but the<br />

Chicago location has added a 12,000 square foot building which will have a 25,000<br />

pound capacity gas nitrider with working dimensions of 1.6 meters X 4 ½ meters<br />

deep (i.e. 63" x 177"). And for some trivia the largest gas nitrider the company has<br />

is in Mason, MI with working dimensions of 2 ½ meters X 5 meters X 2 ½ meters<br />

which can be seen in the photo below.<br />

Jasco <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>/Fairport, NY. According to a news report commercial heat<br />

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<br />

years. April 25/2013<br />

"Firefighters had to be extra careful fighting a fire near Turk Hill Road in Fairport on<br />

Monday morning. <strong>News</strong>10NBC is told molten salt started leaking out of a furnace at<br />

the Jasco <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ment Plant around midnight. Firefighters say maintenance<br />

workers noticed the leak which caused items to catch on fire. Fairport Fire Chief<br />

Mike Gropp says they couldn't use water to put out the fire. "It's a non-water<br />

building. We have to use dry powder or chemicals. Water reacts with molten salt in<br />

a negative manner." Firefighters say the fire did not cause significant damage to<br />

the building and no one was hurt."<br />

So What Do <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ers Get Paid? Commercial heat treating. Yesterday<br />

Jim McNeal of International Search Partners gave us his very experienced idea of<br />

what individuals working on the OEM side of things such as furnace building get<br />

paid. Today he tells us about commercial heat treating. April 23/2013


Commercial <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ing : I did not include VP level and above as those<br />

positions will vary widely depending upon the Company. Of course, the positions<br />

described below are generic but this should be a fairly representative view.<br />

General Managers: Some GM’s have plant manager responsibilities as well but for<br />

the purposes of this article, I will assume not. <strong>The</strong> GM is the outward facing<br />

presence of the Company and does not get overly concerned with “tactical” day-today<br />

issues in the Plant. <strong>The</strong>ir main concern is dealing with customers, dealing with<br />

their boss(es) and ultimately Profit and Loss of the Plant. Good GM’s are worth their<br />

proverbial weight in gold and command salaries in excess of 100K plus bonus plus a<br />

car allowance. A wise Owner will offer the good ones a small bit of equity to lock<br />

them in for the long haul.<br />

Plant Managers: PM’s are responsible for the day-day operation<br />

of the Plant and all employees report directly or indirectly to them.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y typically do not have P&L responsibility but are responsible<br />

for everything else. <strong>The</strong>se folks can make anywhere from 70K on<br />

up and usually will get some sort of bonus based on performance.<br />

Plant Metallurgist: Metallurgists often times are also the Quality<br />

Managers and/or Lab Managers but for this article, we will separate<br />

them out. <strong>The</strong>ir main responsibility is the various processes the<br />

Plant is involved with. A couple of asides with this position- This is<br />

a great opportunity for a young Metallurgist to get their hands dirty<br />

in our business and some <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ers go that route, although<br />

they are not easy to attract nor retain for the long haul. Oftentimes<br />

a privately owned <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong> will have the Principal as the<br />

Metallurgist; although, we have made lots of placements once they<br />

decide to step back from the day-to-day operations of the<br />

business. Expect a Plant Metallurgist to command anywhere from<br />

65K-80K in salary, a little less for an entry-level candidate.<br />

Quality Manager: As I mentioned above, sometimes this is the<br />

Metallurgist but often it is a non-degreed person who has risen through the ranks.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y will typically supervise a number of quality technicians and run the Quality<br />

department, sometimes with Lab responsibilities, sometimes not. <strong>The</strong>se folks earn<br />

anywhere from 60-75K.<br />

Sales engineers: Two types of compensations plans are prevalent. One type of<br />

plan is salary only, commensurate with experience. <strong>The</strong> other is salary plus some<br />

sort of commission or bonus. As is the case for OEM’s, compensation depends on<br />

how collaborative a sales effort the company uses, if Mfg Reps are involved, and<br />

ultimately, personal preference of the company. For a salary only Sales Engineer,<br />

expect to pay a base salary of 60-80K plus some sort of car allowance. If there is<br />

commission involved, the salary may be as low as 50K + plus some sort of car<br />

allowance.<br />

www.themonty.com


Maintenance Supervisor: This is the lowest compensated position in a <strong>Heat</strong><br />

<strong>Treat</strong>, other than a basic furnace operator, but the case could be made that it is the<br />

most important. Without a good preventative maintenance plan and good repair<br />

capability when Furnaces go down, a commercial <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>er is out of business.<br />

Generally, they are non-degreed folks who have worked their way up from an<br />

hourly position on the floor and thus, it is difficult, perception-wise, to pay them at<br />

a level equal to other key players. <strong>The</strong>se folks make anywhere from 50K on up but<br />

good ones are priceless to a commercial <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>.<br />

LOI <strong>The</strong>rmprocess GmbH/Metall Technologie Holding Group (MTH). In the<br />

world of European heat treating this news items ranks as a major announcement. It<br />

would appear that LOI (who we think of mainly for thermal processing equipment in<br />

the steel industry) has acquired MTH a group of new furnace builders largely based<br />

in Europe. MTH includes B.M.I. Fours Industriels, Shanghai Huisen-MTH Industrial<br />

Furnaces Co. Ltd., IVA Industrieöfen GmbH, MAHLER GmbH Industrieofenbau, RIVA<br />

Sp. z.o.o. and SCHMETZ GmbH Vakuumöfen and when combined the group is one<br />

of the largest furnace builders in the world. To see how MTH compares in size to<br />

other European furnace builders we would suggest<br />

exclusive financial advisor to European Capital in the sale of the business. <strong>The</strong> Baird<br />

team was led by Joachim Beickler, Managing Director, in Frankfurt and by Vinay<br />

Ghai, Managing Director, in London, with assistance from colleagues in the US and<br />

Asia. <strong>The</strong> successful completion of the deal underscores the value of Baird<br />

Investment Banking’s global platform, which uses a fully integrated, international<br />

team to provide comprehensive M&A and debt advisory services. In 2012, Baird<br />

advised on 166 financings and global M&A transactions totalling more than $43<br />

billion. Baird Managing Director Joachim Beickler, who led on the deal, said:<br />

‘European Capital’s sale of MTH represents an important transaction for Baird<br />

Investment Banking, and highlights the global reach of our platform and the depth<br />

of our expertise in the core industrial technology sector’."<br />

And for more details we have this press release: "Milan, April, 22 2013 - LOI<br />

<strong>The</strong>rmprocess GmbH, a Tenova subsidiary company, has signed an agreement with<br />

European Capital S.A. SICAR for the acquisition of the Metall Technologie Holding<br />

turnover of around Euro 65 million. MTH currently serves an installed base of<br />

around 2,500 heat treatment furnace units.<br />

MTH's integration into Tenova will be carried out to build upon MTH's engineering<br />

and after-sales team competences whilst leveraging Tenova's geographic presence<br />

and organization. This will expand product offerings into new areas while ensuring<br />

continuous customer effectiveness. "This acquisition reinforces Tenova's position in<br />

What Do <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ers Get Paid? We are all curious about what our<br />

counterparts are paid-it is part of human nature. So what does the Project Engineer<br />

you are working with get paid for supervising the new furnace you just bought? Or<br />

the fellow that sold you the furnace? Our good friend Jim McNeal, Managing<br />

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<br />

provided us with these thoughts. April 22/2013<br />

OEM’s (Furnace and Oven Manufacturers): I did not include VP level and above<br />

as those positions will vary widely depending upon the Company. Of course, the<br />

positions described below are generic but this should be a fairly representative<br />

view.<br />

Project Engineers (Both Mechanical and Electrical): <strong>The</strong>se are typically<br />

degreed individuals although with enough experience, a degree may not be<br />

required. Some of these folks do Project Management; some are only the Project<br />

lead for design. Electrical engineers will generally not be the lead on a single project<br />

but will spread themselves out over several projects. <strong>The</strong>se folks can get anywhere<br />

from 65K on the low side and into the 80’s on the high side. Typically, these<br />

positions are exempt, ie. salaried positions with no overtime.<br />

Designers, Draftsman, Detailers (Both Mechanical and Electrical): <strong>The</strong>se are<br />

typically non-degreed individuals who are the backbone of every Furnace/Oven<br />

Manufacturer. <strong>The</strong>y are typically non-exempt (Hourly) and can get anywhere<br />

between $18/hour on up to $25+ per hour.<br />

Application Engineers: <strong>The</strong>se positions can also be called Proposal engineers,<br />

Estimators, Inside Sales engineers, etc. What these folks do is put together the<br />

quotes that go out to prospective customers. Granted, a lot of times the actual<br />

Salesman do this but a wise Company will have this function done in-house and<br />

allow the Sales Engineer to be out in the Field doing what they do best, SELLING.<br />

Application engineers can make $65K on the low side while a seasoned Appl Eng<br />

can end up well into the 80’s. Surprisingly, these are often the most highly sought<br />

after people in our business and from a recruiting stand point, are very difficult to<br />

source.<br />

Field Service Engineers: I am not talking about people who work in the Shop; I<br />

am talking about that rare and unusual breed of folks (sorry guys) who love to be<br />

in the field installing and commissioning furnaces. Most of these gentleman (In<br />

almost 20 years in this business, I have never run across a female FSE) are nonexempt<br />

folks who get lots and lots of OT plus per diem and other perks for being on<br />

the road. Good ones can often make over $100K in total compensation and usually<br />

start out in the $25/hour range. Recently, we have seen some companies going to<br />

a straight salary model…..the good news is no overtime; the bad news is that these<br />

guys require a guaranteed 100K to go exempt. Recruiting-wise, if we run across a<br />

good FSE who wants to make a change, they are literally a walking invoice for us.<br />

www.themonty.com


Sales engineers: Two types of compensations plans are prevalent. One type of<br />

plan is salary only, commensurate with experience. We see salary only plans with<br />

OEM’s who have a very technical product, 99% of the time custom designed, with a<br />

long sales cycle, as well as companies who do not have territories per se but sell as<br />

a Team. This seems to work well for both parties. <strong>The</strong> Sales Engineer gets a base<br />

salary with some sort of bonus plan based on individual/company performance; the<br />

OEM gets a dedicated Sales Engineer with a relatively fixed cost. <strong>The</strong> other type of<br />

plan is salary plus commission. <strong>The</strong> theory behind this type of plan is that in order<br />

to face rejection on a daily basis, the carrot of commission needs to be out there to<br />

motivate the sales person and reward producers. We see this type of plan with<br />

OEM’s who manufacture a product that can be sold without a lot of custom design<br />

needed ie a standard product line. A salary only Sales Engineer will make 80K+<br />

plus.<br />

compensation plan involves commission, expect the salary to drop by 20-30%<br />

although interestingly enough, these sales people will generally make more money.<br />

Largest North American Furnace Builders. We have been diligently working<br />

towards our listing of the largest North American furnace builders by annual sales-a<br />

list which we expect to have completed by next week. We are constantly amazed at<br />

how open most companies in this industry are. As an example we have contacted<br />

approximately 14 furnace builders in North America and half very kindly provided<br />

sales figures and information about their company's. We will stress by the way that<br />

we completely understand if some choose not to release their sales figures. An<br />

example of one company which will certainly be on our list of the largest next week<br />

SSI/Aremac <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ing, City of Industry, California, USA. Commercial<br />

heat treater Aremac was recently in the news because of their brand new plant in<br />

Eastman, Georgia. To add to this story (well at least kind of) we have this further<br />

update about an upgrade to their control systems at their plant in CA. April<br />

17/2013<br />

Nitrex Metal/SAPA Profiles. From Nitrex we recieved this press release about an<br />

order the company just received from SAPA Profiles (never heard of this company<br />

before) for a nitrocarburizing system for a location just outside of Shanghai, China.<br />

Pawel Wyrzykowski/CEO, Seco Warwick. Today we present to you an interview<br />

with Mr. Pawel Wyrzykowski, CEO of one of the largest furnace builders in the world<br />

Seco Warwick based in Poland. April 16/2013<br />

1) I have to say Pawel that I have been looking forward to asking you a<br />

few questions about Seco Warwick and the heat treating world. To start off<br />

I have to say I have never been entirely clear about the structure of Seco<br />

Warwick. As an example you have a number of different locations around<br />

the world-are these all divisions of Seco Warwick?<br />

www.themonty.com


"After a transformation period we have been able to finally create a clear corporate<br />

structure of the Seco/Warwick Group as of the beginning of 2013. So, right now we<br />

have a small industrial management holding company (S/W SA) which, on the one<br />

hand is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, and on the other – holds all<br />

remaining shareholdings in our regional operational companies, such as S/W Eurpoe<br />

(Poland), S/W Corporation (USA), Retech (USA), SWR (China) and SWA (India).<br />

Apart from this we have 2 sales & service regional companies SWS (Germany) and<br />

SW Russia. S/W Holding employes 5 Vice Presidents globally responsible for our 5<br />

technology lines (business segments) and some functional managers, who are<br />

globally responsible for purchasing, HR, finance and a few other functions. Apart<br />

from this we developed a legal and management framework which sets up the rules<br />

and relations of single companies with our global business segments and defines<br />

the principles of joint projects."<br />

2) I have always been curious-where did the name Seco Warwick come<br />

from and when was the company started?<br />

"Seco Warwick was originally the name only of the SW Corporation in the US, who<br />

had acted as our previous parent company. <strong>The</strong>n, in 2006 the so called reverse<br />

take over took place, where the Polish subsidiary took over its US parent company,<br />

which in effect became a subsidiary. Until 2012 some management functions were<br />

spread over 2 or 3 group companies. We decided to change it and right now we are<br />

proud to have not only a very transparent corporate structure, but also a structure<br />

which supports our strategy and the know-how transfer. "<br />

3) How did you end up as the CEO of Seco Warwick?<br />

"Until the end of 2011 I had been working for 13 years for a German industrial<br />

company. Firstly and I had the honor to lead the East-European business for 10<br />

years and then the last 3 years I spent on the corporate level in Germany being in<br />

charge for all international activities. When I wanted to return to Poland,<br />

Seco/Warwick was searching for somebody of my profile, not necessarily with<br />

furnace experience. From the moment we met, it was a short way to agree on my<br />

assignment. I respect this opportunity very much, as there are really not too many<br />

truly global industrial companies with their HQ in Poland."<br />

4) When I think of Seco Warwick I think of vacuum furnaces first,<br />

aluminum furnaces second and everything else further down the list. Is<br />

this a fair assessment? Would you care to share with us a breakdown of<br />

the various types of furnaces you build in terms of a % of total sales? For<br />

instance are vacuum furnaces 50% of your overall business?<br />

www.themonty.com<br />

"Yes, apart of Vacuum and Aluminum, we have 3 further business segments which<br />

are: Atmosphere, Melting (Retech) and CAB (Controlled Atmosphere Brazing)."<br />

Continued<br />

Monday Morning Briefing. Let's start with Canada today where we see that<br />

commercial heat treater Atlantic <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ing in Ajax, Ontario will shortly be


installing a large capacity gas nitrider. Atlantic heat treating is owned by Mr. Jon<br />

Mathews who interestingly enough does not come from a heat treating background<br />

which makes him rather unusual. It is a testament to hard work and lots of<br />

common sense that Jon has grown the company substantially over the years and is<br />

constantly adding more capacity. Still in Canada we see that Exactatherm is<br />

adding a new furnace from Seco Warwick, press release below. By the way this is<br />

the second large vacuum Seco has sold into Mississauga in the past year, the first<br />

being a large 12 bar for which no press release has yet been issued. April 15/2013<br />

"Meadville, Pennsylvania–SECO/WARWICK Corp. has received an order for<br />

a CaseMaster Evolution® D12 vacuum furnace for a Canadian heat<br />

treatment company. <strong>The</strong> contract was signed recently and SECO/WARWICK Corp.<br />

will provide the equipment for Exactatherm at its Mississauga, Canada facility.<br />

SECO/WARWICK officials said they will have the furnace in place in the third<br />

quarter of 2013. <strong>The</strong> CaseMaster Evolution® vacuum furnace is a two-chamber<br />

furnace with oil and 2-bar gas quenching. <strong>The</strong> furnace comprises a heating chamber<br />

and quench chamber with a gas quench above an oil tank. This furnace design<br />

allows for significant increases in flexibility and productivity. About<br />

installed their first one in 1978. <strong>The</strong> new furnace will extend Exactatherm’s capacity<br />

considerably in the aerospace, energy and defense sectors. Visit<br />

http://www.exactatherm.com/ "<br />

www.themonty.com


In India we ran across something which rather surprised us, <strong>The</strong>relek Engineers<br />

Private Limited a commercial heat treater in Bangalore claims to be the first in<br />

the country to have achieved NADCAP and that it is the ONLY<br />

commercial that is NADCAP certified. This was not our impression<br />

but perhaps we are mistaken. Going to Germany we understand<br />

that Energy Optimization company Dibalog has hired a customer<br />

service engineer to handle their sales in North America. He is a<br />

fellow by the name of Trent Boehner and he can be reached at<br />

t.boehner@dibalog.com We ran across a fellow in the Netherlands<br />

who has a blog in which he analyzes commercial heat treats<br />

Bodycote and Aalberts Industries<br />

http://somanalystblog.blogspot.nl/2013/02/speculative-piecepotential-us-heat.html.<br />

Kind of interesting and it is easy to see that<br />

he follows "<strong>The</strong> <strong>Monty</strong>". In the US we have a few interesting<br />

items. First we see that GE has acquired Lufkin Industries in<br />

Lufkin, TX. It's worth mentioning because Lufkin (who amongst<br />

other things produces large gears) has a large in house heat<br />

treating department which we have profiled in the past. In<br />

California Bodycote is installing a new 20' X 8' X 5' furnace<br />

capable of handling 30,000 pound loads at 2250F. This will be<br />

intended to serve the aerospace and engine markets. Nitrex is<br />

hosting another of their Nitriding Seminars this one in Las Vegas,<br />

NV. "Nitrex Metal Inc. is pleased to announce the return of Nitriding Symposium to<br />

Las Vegas, USA this November. Already in its 3rd edition, Nitriding Symposium is a<br />

one of a kind event devoted exclusively to controlled nitriding and nitrocarburizing,<br />

relying on academic researchers and industry professionals to deliver the latest<br />

technologies and developments in the field. Stay tuned for additional details. Visit<br />

www.nitriding.info starting on April 26 for more information".<br />

And to round things out we conclude this Monday Morning Briefing by returning to a<br />

news item from the past week. American Brazing division of Paulo Products is an<br />

enormous operation which will shortly be installing their 26th vacuum furnace in<br />

their 150,000 square foot building just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. We had<br />

wondered whether this plant has the largest installed base of vacuum furnaces in a<br />

commercial heat treat in North America. It turns out not as you can see from the<br />

post below from Mr. Bill Jones of Solar Atmospheres. By the way there is one<br />

other in the US that might rival these two however they are so publicity shy that we<br />

dare not speak their name. "For one facility Solar Atmospheres, Souderton, Pa. will<br />

be hard to surpass. We have 28 vacuum furnaces on line up and running. By the<br />

end of this year we are adding 5 additional vacuum furnaces, currently on order.<br />

Two are smaller production furnaces for vacuum brazing, a production size 10 bar<br />

www.themonty.com


vacuum carburizing furnace, a 20 bar vacuum alloy hardening furnace, and an all<br />

metal mid size hot zone furnace for high vacuum processing of medical components<br />

like pacemaker implants. All of our original furnaces were built by Vacuum Furnace<br />

Systems Corp and the most recent furnaces since year 2000 built by our sister<br />

company Solar Manufacturing Inc. <strong>The</strong>se numbers do not include furnaces in<br />

operation Solar Hermitage, Pa. or Solar Fontana, Calif. both major vacuum furnace<br />

processing sites. William R. Jones, CEO"<br />

What's Coming Up? Let's have a quick look at what you can expect to see on<br />

"<strong>The</strong> <strong>Monty</strong>" in the near future in addition to our regular news items, trends and<br />

rumors. First we will have interviews with several well known individuals in the<br />

industry such as Mr. Pawel Wyrzykowski, CEO of furnace builder<br />

Seco/Warwick, Mr. Ben Rassieur, President of one of the world's largest family<br />

owned heat treats, Paulo Products and Mr. Bill Disler, President of furnace<br />

builder AFC-Holcroft. (incidentally if you would like to be interviewed please let us<br />

know and we would be happy to work with you). Also upcoming is a report and<br />

photos of several commercial and captive heat treats in Argentina and Italy with<br />

a close look at Nitrex in Las Vegas also in the mix. And within the next two weeks<br />

an updated list of the Largest Furnace Builders in North America-both vacuum<br />

and atmosphere. To give you a taste the photo below shows the assembly area of<br />

one of the companies on the list GM Enterprises in CA who also sent us a very<br />

interesting idea about the size of the company and their focus. April 15/2013<br />

SECO/Warwick/Bodycote. To round out the week we start off with this press<br />

release from SECO/WARWICK and a nice vacuum furnace order they received from<br />

the world's largest commercial heat treater, Bodycote. Not sure which Bodycote<br />

plant this is for as it could be for one of 30 or 40. By the way notice a pattern here?<br />

SECO is becoming very "vocal" about their new orders which is a strategy we agree<br />

with. April 12/2013<br />

Plansee Press Release. Molybdenum and hot zone supplier Plansee sent us this<br />

press release abut a new design of hot zone for "MIM" furnaces. Seems like a cool<br />

idea. April 12/2013<br />

www.themonty.com<br />

"MIM Hot Zone Door Operation - Simplified. <strong>The</strong> molybdenum hot zone is the<br />

heart of every MIM furnace. With proper design, together with its efficient heating<br />

elements, it guarantees a very clean environment and ensures that high


temperatures are achieved while its shield packs minimize heat loss. Well-designed<br />

hot zones have a long service life, offer short heating and cooling cycles, and<br />

distribute heat evenly. With its creep-resistant molybdenum alloys and creatively<br />

engineered lightweight construction methods, PLANSEE is continuously improving<br />

the energy efficiency and performance of hot zones for high-temperature furnaces.<br />

However, the hot zone's performance capabilities are just part of the story. Ease of<br />

installation and ease of use are also desired criteria for furnace operators and<br />

PLANSEE provides both.<br />

Here is an example: PLANSEE has done extensive work with the design of the MIM<br />

hot zone door. After all, it is possible that these doors could be opened and closed<br />

several times between cycles. With other designs two hands are necessary to open<br />

the door to the hot zone. And prior to opening the door, it is necessary to<br />

disengage the actuating mechanism for the shutter assembly which enables rapid<br />

cooling. Multiple step processes like these can increase the possibility of operator<br />

error. Nevertheless, these steps are unavoidable with many of the current designs.<br />

With the new design from PLANSEE, it is no longer necessary to disengage and<br />

reengage the door fastenings when opening and closing the<br />

doors. When the door is closed, the fastening mechanism<br />

automatically engages, due to the counterweighted handle,<br />

and ensures a tight seal. Preinstalled shutters. Typically, the<br />

fastening assembly for the cooling shutter mechanism is<br />

supplied separately and has to be installed on-site. PLANSEE<br />

hot zones begin making things easier for you right away. With<br />

a PLANSEE hot zone the shutters and related guide rods are<br />

preinstalled to enable a simpler installation. As an added bonus, PLANSEE has<br />

redesigned the shutters in order to further reduce heat loss. Retort chamber- Easy<br />

to open.<br />

PLANSEE also has a new design for the door of the retort as well. <strong>The</strong>rmal<br />

deformation is the reason why these doors can be difficult to open. Thanks to<br />

reinforcing structural angles on both the inside and outside of the retort door it has<br />

increased resistance to warping. Due to these reinforcements and special<br />

molybdenum alloys, the new retort doors are subject to less distortion and can be<br />

engaged and disengaged more reliably without sticking. <strong>The</strong> PLANSEE door is<br />

manually affixed to the retort and held in place with a series of hooks located on<br />

both sides of the retort. <strong>The</strong>se specially designed counterweighted hooks employ<br />

the use of the door’s own weight to provide a tight seal against the retort opening<br />

ensuring atmosphere integrity. In the end this means that loading and unloading<br />

your work loads can be done quickly, easily, and efficiently using a PLANSEE MIM<br />

hot zone and retort.<br />

Paulo Products Company, American Brazing Division/Willoughby, Ohio,<br />

USA. So which commercial heat treater in North America has the most number of<br />

vacuum furnaces in 1 location? While we can't say for sure we would suggest that<br />

quite possibly it is American Brazing (a division of Paulo Products) located in<br />

Willoughby, Ohio. <strong>The</strong> company is currently installing their 25th vacuum with<br />

number 26 arriving shortly (both are GM Enterprises units with 6 bar quenching).<br />

This is a top notch operation with immaculate equipment as you can see from the<br />

photo below. If there are any commercials with more vacuums in a single location<br />

we would like to hear about it. <strong>The</strong> first photo below is very recent, the second was<br />

taken about 3 years ago but both give you a good idea about how impressive this<br />

plant is. April 11/2013<br />

Gas vs.; Electricity. <strong>The</strong> decision as to whether to use natural gas as opposed to<br />

electricity to heat furnaces comes down to two issues, availability and pricing.<br />

Obviously if natural gas is not available there is no decision to be made which<br />

means generally the decision comes down to relative cost. Certainly in most areas<br />

of North America this is a "no brainer" natural gas is far cheaper than electricity and<br />

the long term forecast is that the spread will only widen. One of the charts below<br />

shows natural gas pricing over the years, the second electricity. We wouldn't have<br />

to debate a second about which energy source to use. And while we are looking at<br />

charts the furthest chart down shows nickel pricing and all we can say is all is quiet<br />

on the nickel front. April 9/2013<br />

Monday Morning Briefing. Let’s start off with a couple of "people" items. It would<br />

appear that Julian Bayshore "Representative Director", Japan with Bodycote (not<br />

quite sure what that title means) has parted ways with the company. Bruce<br />

Zmyslinski, Key Account Manager in the US for Edwards Vacuum left the<br />

company the end of March. Edwards is one of the largest vacuum pump suppliers in<br />

the world and their banner ad can be found on this page. Going back to 2011<br />

Goodrich announced that they would be closing their Cleveland, Ohio facility which<br />

made aerospace landing gear. <strong>The</strong> remaining equipment will be auctioned off April<br />

23 and 24th and this includes the heat treating equipment which features a<br />

monster Lindberg Hi <strong>Heat</strong> Gantry furnace which can be seen below. This thing<br />

has working dimensions of 72" diameter and 16' high and can handle parts up to<br />

15,000 pounds. Additional equipment includes a couple of generators and a few<br />

other pit furnaces including a large salt quench. While Goodrich does some heat<br />

treating in house a great deal is outsourced. I can't imagine a used equipment<br />

dealer buying something so specialized but you never know. We will be curious to<br />

know where this ends up. April 8/2013<br />

Moving to Brazil we see that commercial heat treater TÊCNOTEMPERA, a<br />

commercial heat treater, in Santa Catharina in southern Brazil just successfully<br />

started up their first vacuum furnace. This was purchased from Seco/Warwick<br />

and has working dimensions of 600 mm x 600 mm x 950 mm and 12 bar nitrogen<br />

quenching. Apparently the plan is that this will be the first of a number of Seco<br />

Warwick vacuum furnaces. I know that commercial heat treating in Brazil is<br />

struggling these days so I hope that this impressive investment pays off. Metal<br />

<strong>Treat</strong>ing Institute (MTI) the largest organization in North America of commercial<br />

heat treaters is having a regional meeting in Big Sky Resort in Montana July 19-20.<br />

Featured speakers will include our good friend the "Doctor", Dan Herring (boy this<br />

man gets around). Moving to the field of rumors we have an interesting one. A<br />

brand New Commercial <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong> is being constructed in the Rockford, Illinois<br />

area. While we don't have a clue who is behind this we do understand that it will<br />

offer normalizing, annealing and continuous furnaces. Hey we have to mention<br />

something about Italy for a change (although we will have more about heat<br />

treating in Italy in a few weeks). We see that one of the largest new furnace<br />

builders in the country Cieffe is delivering to Salzgitter in France a turnkey<br />

furnace line for the heat treatment of steel tubes for the oil industry. This is an<br />

automated line capable of handling parts up to 13 meters long with a maximum<br />

temperature of 1120C.<br />

www.themonty.com<br />

Moving to a particular "peeve" of ours we ran across another one of those "crappy"<br />

<strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong> 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<br />

where they get their information but this most recent one was so far off the mark<br />

as to be laughable. Our personal feeling is that any of these studies are at best<br />

educated guesses at most within 20% of being accurate but a number of studies we<br />

have seen aren't within 80% of being accurate. While there are probably a couple<br />

out there that are reasonably accurate our personal feeling is resist the urge to buy<br />

a complete study and contact list for several hundred dollars. Your money would be<br />

better spent at the race track. And to round things out our friends at commercial<br />

heat treat Metlab in PA sent us this press release. Metlab is worth mentioning in<br />

that the company is very specialized and has probably the largest pit carburizing<br />

furnaces available in North America.<br />

"Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz Visits Metlab Mark Podob (l) and Jim Conybear<br />

(r) owners of Metlab, Philadelphia, PA, welcomed the Honorable Allyson Schwartz,<br />

Congresswoman to Metlab on Thursday, April 4, 2013. <strong>The</strong> Congresswoman,<br />

Representative for the 13th District in Pennsylvania, toured the heat treat plant<br />

looking at the two largest pit furnaces in North America as well as such diverse<br />

projects as the manufacture of wire supports for the arresting cable mechanism on<br />

aircraft carriers, carburizing and hardening crawler shafts for steam shovels, and<br />

gears being nitrided for Navy destroyers. Also toured was the company's black<br />

oxide line used for finishing fasteners, machined parts and other components, its<br />

in-house metallurgical laboratory, and sandblast cleaning operation. Discussions<br />

focused on issues facing small businesses, Metlab concerns for the future of<br />

Solar Atmospheres/Vacuum Carburizing. While Vacuum Carburizing is best<br />

known for heat treatment of automotive transmission gears it can't be disputed that<br />

the technology is moving into the realms of the aerospace industry as you can see<br />

by the press release below. April 4/2013<br />

Souderton, PA. "April 3, 2013 – Solar Atmospheres of Eastern PA recently<br />

received Nadcap approval for carburizing. <strong>The</strong> Souderton, PA plant can now better<br />

serve the aerospace market with this accreditation. <strong>The</strong> already stringent review of<br />

quality procedures and processes was even more challenging for Solar. <strong>The</strong> Nadcap<br />

audit checklist is based on conventional carburizing processes which are controlled<br />

by carbon potential, but Solar’s patented low pressure vacuum carburizing (LPVC)<br />

process works a bit differently. <strong>The</strong> most notable benefit of LPVC over traditional<br />

carburizing is the absence of intergranular oxidation (IGO). IGO-free parts eliminate<br />

the cost and time required for additional machining. In addition LPVC offers<br />

controllable, predictable and very uniform case depths as well as the ability to<br />

carburize in blind and very small diameter holes. Solar’s quality and technical<br />

departments collaborated extensively to successfully meet Nadcap requirements<br />

while navigating the differences between the two processes. Solar passed the audit<br />

without any findings and satisfactorily answered all questions. This carburizing<br />

accreditation joins the Souderton plant’s other Nadcap approvals for heat treating<br />

and brazing. For more information or to request a quote, please contact Mike Moyer<br />

<strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong> Fire. While fires in heat treat companies is a not uncommon<br />

occurrence it is rather rare to see a fire break out in a building where a heat treater<br />

has just left as is the case here. April 4/2013


"Firefighters quickly extinguish a fire that broke out in a Milwaukie building slated<br />

for demolition to make way for the MAX Orange Line. Clackamas Fire District 1<br />

Firefighters quickly extinguished a fire Tuesday in a Milwaukie building that will be<br />

torn down to make way for the Portland-Milwaukie light rail project. TriMet now<br />

owns the building that formerly housed Beaver <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ing Corp., 2505 S.E.<br />

Moores St., where contractors were salvaging parts of the air conditioning system,<br />

said TriMet spokeswoman Roberta Altstadt. "It appears that sparks from a cutting<br />

torch set the fire," Altstadt said. Contractors in the building were safely evacuated<br />

and no injuries were reported. Brandon Paxton, Clackamas Fire District 1<br />

spokesman, said the fire was reported at 2:11 p.m. A total of 10 pieces of<br />

firefighting apparatus responded. Beaver <strong>Heat</strong> <strong>Treat</strong>ing is a second-generation<br />

family business that operated on the same site since 1955, counting the Ford Motor<br />

Co. and the U.S. military among its customers. At one point, the company ran 26<br />

furnaces in the 32,000-square-foot building. TriMet relocated the business when the<br />
