"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 instance are vacuum furnaces 50% of your overall business? www.themonty.com "Yes, apart of Vacuum and Aluminum, we have 3 further business segments which are: Atmosphere, Melting (Retech) and CAB (Controlled Atmosphere Brazing)." Continued 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.
