Ontario Furnace Maker To Expand, Increase Production

/ HEAT TREAT NEWS

A North American furnace manufacturer recently announced plans to increase production capabilities by expanding its Ontario facility. The investment will consist of adding 45,000 square feet of modern manufacturing space as well as 18,000 square feet of office space. Construction is underway and is expected to be complete May of 2025.

CAN-ENG Furnaces International, Ltd., based in Niagara Falls, Ontario, CA, indicated the capacity expansion will be to their Plant #2 Operations in St. Catharines, Ontario. The manufacturing space will be outfitted with fabrication, assembly, and testing equipment to serve the changing needs of the industries they serve with thermal processing equipment, including stamping and fastener companies, electric vehicle and automotive component producers, the iron and steel industries, aluminum foundries, and agricultural, and construction manufacturers.

This expansion will double the current floor space and integrate enhanced overhead lifting capabilities to accommodate larger thermal processing systems being demanded by EV component and battery material processors. Upgrades include the addition of two 30-ton and two 20-ton overhead cranes to accompany the existing units presently in use. Future expansion plans that include foundation and utility upgrades have been considered during the design process.

The press release is available in its original form here.

/ ATMOSPHERE AIR FURNACES NEWS, AUTOMOTIVE HEAT TREAT, FEATURED NEWS

Gallos Metal Solutions Inc., Milwaukee, WI (GALLOS) recently received a high capacity mesh belt heat treatment furnace line. The company specializes in continuous mesh belt atmosphere heat treatment, and this new line will be used primarily for demanding processing including carbonitriding and carburizing, while still allowing for neutral heat treatment with a production capacity up to 4000 lbs/hr.

This furnace line is part of GALLOS’ massive plant expansion and modernization project, which has more than doubled the existing plant square footage, increased capacity, and added automation. The benefits of the system -- including increased usable hearth area for high-volume processing while running products requiring carbon diffusion and lighter belt loading -- are aligned to the expansion-oriented plant plans.
