Vac Aero Setting up Heat Treating Operation in Poland

The Monty, June 16, 2006 Issue

This Canadian based manufacturer of new vacuum furnaces and large commercial heat treater set up a manufacturing operation in Poland a little while back, the news item below is the most recent of several we’ve had about this venture.

Obviously this has been a winning proposition for Vac Aero, as it has for a number of companies involved in the heat treating industry. We are not trying to detract from Vac Aero’s news item but we would like to mention that a few other companies have also found success doing business in Poland. The Pratt & Whitney facility in Longueil, Quebec (Aerospace), has over the past several years transferred a reasonable amount of manufacturing and heat treating to Poland, Seco Warwick (new furnaces) has a large presence there, Bodycote International (commercial heat treating) found Poland to be interesting enough from a business standpoint that they bought the Nitrex Gas Nitriding plants there a couple of years back and according to the photo further down this page, Hightemp Furnaces of India was in Poland a couple of weeks back, probably not for a holiday. Having fulfilled an earlier promise to give our readers a few examples of companies involved in the heat treating setting up operations in Poland we will move on to how Vac Aero is doing in Poland, which would appear to be very well.
