Furnaces North America (FNA) 2026 isn’t just where heat treat professionals gather — it’s where the industry’s leading suppliers, innovators, and technology experts come together to share what’s next.
With registration now open, hear what two key event sponsors have to say about why FNA remains the premier event for the heat treating community.
“The time commitment is really not that much, and what you gain out of that is meeting new suppliers or vendors, strengthening existing relationships, or even discovering a solution for a problem you’re currently dealing with. You never know what other company, like us, out there could potentially save you and buy back all that time that you invest in going to the show. It could save you, your team, a ton of time, moving down the road, on something that you might not be aware of.”
— Ryan McLaughlin, General Manager, McLaughlin Furnace Group
“I think the industry still operates face to face. You can’t understand a problem via email as well as in person. So at FNA, you’ve got buyers, suppliers, and most importantly, the end users, all in one room. You can’t replace that.”
— Steve Bennet, President, US Element
