What is Premier’s mission?
To provide heat-treating systems that are dependable as well as innovative, with performance-proven technology that will enhance the physical properties and surface characteristics of a variety of materials as per customers’ requests.
How did Premier Furnace begin?
As a field service engineer 25 years ago, working on all types of furnaces, I recognized some design flaws or ways to improve performance with better components or manufacturing. I founded the company in 1999. The name ‘Premier’ seemed appropriate, as that has always been our goal — to build premier furnaces.
What products and services does Premier offer?
Premier/BeaverMatic offers a variety of heat-processing products as well as service and spare parts. We are well respected in the industry, with internal quench furnaces, tip-up, manipulators, quenching systems, car bottom, box, temper, roller hearth, belt, pusher, spray/dunk washers, endothermic and exothermic gas generators, transfer carts, and many custom systems. We offer 24/7 field service on most major furnace systems, carry many in-stock spare parts, and provide technical advice.
