A long-standing aerospace manufacturer has made a major investment in new thermal processing capacity, marking a new phase of growth for its in-house heat treating operations. This customized solution is representative of aerospace manufacturers continue to position themselves to support sustained production growth, tighter regulatory requirements, and increasingly complex materials.
The order was placed with Ipsen USA and consists of fully customized, non-standard thermal processing systems engineered to support advanced aerospace manufacturing requirements. While specific furnace types were not disclosed, the systems were designed to provide tighter process control, repeatability, and the ability to support complex materials and part geometries while aligning with evolving quality and certification standards.

The equipment order is a fleet-scale installation of thermal processing systems designed for advanced aerospace applications. Rather than expanding incrementally, the aerospace manufacturer elected to deploy multiple systems as part of a coordinated expansion of its heat treating operations.
CEO of Ipsen Global, Geoffrey Somary, says that large, repeat orders like this reflect long-term confidence built on consistent equipment performance, service responsiveness, and process expertise.
The scale of the order reflects how aerospace manufacturers are approaching in-house heat treating through larger, coordinated equipment investments intended to support long-term capacity planning and tighter control over critical thermal processes.
