Precision Heat Treat, Aftermarket Suppliers Announce Cooperation

A German heat treat aftermarket supplier recently reached a cooperation with a European heat treating manufacturer for the production and distribution of heat treat systems for precision fine casting industries.

Linn High Therm GmbH and SAFED Suisse SA, a company of the Aichelin Group, announced the joint project in early 2018, wherein Linn High Therm GmbH will license the production of smaller heat treatment systems for watch, jewelry, and microsystems technology from SAFED’s product range. The agreement states that SAFED will take over the distribution of these products as well as the distribution and service of the products of Linn High Therm GmbH in Switzerland, France, Italy, and partly Germany through the existing sales and service network.

Both companies are experienced in the development and construction of electrically heated heat treatment plants. Linn High Therm GmbH specializes in the production of industrial and lab furnaces/ kilns, microwave furnaces, sample preparation units for spectroscopy, induction heating systems, precision fine casting systems and customer-specific systems. SAFED Suisse SA, based in Delémont, Switzerland, provides installations for the watchmaking and micromechanical industries.
