Vacuum Furnace Manufacturer Relocates Pennsylvania Operations

Jim Nagy, President of Solar Manufacturing

A Pennsylvania vacuum furnace manufacturing company has recently relocated its operations to provide more space for building furnaces and furnace equipment.

Solar Manufacturing Inc. has moved from Souderton to Sellersville, Pennsylvania, where the new facility is located on a combined 8.5 acres just three miles from the previous location. The newly-constructed building houses 40,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 17,500 square feet designated office space, with an option for an extra 22,500 square foot addition to the manufacturing building in the future. The move was achieved in several phases, taking place over several weeks in September and October. Despite the scope of the project, Solar Manufacturing experienced only a few minor interruptions.

“Solar Manufacturing has expanded throughout the many years since our inception, resulting in our employees working from several different buildings,” said Jim Nagy, President of Solar Manufacturing. “With this move, we are finally united under one roof. Not only is the new space very handsome, but it is also a well-thought-out facility. It is equipped with and geared up for efficient production, with enough capacity to serve our customers well into the future, especially those who need very large vacuum furnaces.”

“This new facility provides us the space we need to grow and consolidate all our staff in one facility,” said William Jones, who along with his wife, Myrtle Jones, owns Solar Manufacturing, Inc. “Now that we’re officially settled, we’re eager to use the new building to its fullest potential.”
