Heat Treat Furnace Manufacturer Contracts with Defense Materials Manufacturer
The parent company of a western Pennsylvania-base heat treat furnace manufacturer recently announced a partnership with a Serbian defense materials manufacturer to supply new heat processing equipment.
Zastava Arms, which manufactures firearms and artillery, based in Kragujevac, Serbia, replaced dated equipment with a new SECO/WARWICK high-temperature box furnace. The new equipment includes tighter temperature uniformity and fully automated temperature controls.
“We chose the SECO/WARWICK technology based on our previous experience and because it fits perfectly with our current Quality Management System by providing real-time controls that ensure a high-quality product and profitable operation,” said Vladan Živković, Manager of Department of Technology with Zastava Arms. “Zastava Arms has been a supplier to the defense industry for many decades and will stay among top defense suppliers thanks to investments in high-quality technology.”
According to DefenseWeb, the defense industry of Serbia is the largest in the Western Balkans and manufacturers must implement strict standards in order to meet the criteria to get a permit for manufacturing.
“We have enjoyed a long partnership with Zastava Arms and are pleased to continue supplying advanced technology solutions for every heat treatment application,” said Jarosław Talerzak, Vice President of Thermal Segment at SECO/WARWICK. “As a technology partner, we are positioned to support our customer’s growth by offering a wide range of service and equipment options especially for the very demanding industries represented by our partner.”
