UPC-Marathon, a Nitrex company and a leading provider of process control solutions for the heat-treatment industry, successfully commissioned an endothermic gas generator for a major automotive manufacturer in Brazil. This achievement marks UPC-Marathon’s entry into the supply chain of a renowned automotive industry player.
UPC-Marathon replaced an outdated endo generator at the manufacturer’s transmission plant, which supplies gears for well-known vehicle brands. Recognizing the need to optimize process efficiency and meet evolving industry requirements, the manufacturer invested in a UPC-Marathon EndoFlex generator with a 200 M3H flow capacity to enhance its carburizing process and achieve unparalleled performance in operations.
The decision to choose UPC-Marathon as the preferred supplier was based on several key factors. The manufacturer sought improved energy and gas efficiencies, and by opting for the EndoFlex, they anticipate a 50 percent increase in energy efficiency. Additionally, the new generator streamlines maintenance procedures, complies with stringent quality standards, and reduces CO2 emissions, aligning with the manufacturer’s vision for sustainable growth.
UPC-Marathon’s strong presence in Brazil also played a crucial role in securing this order. With a proven track record and successful installations nationwide, UPC-Marathon emerged as the sole provider capable of delivering a technologically advanced next-generation generator that meets the manufacturer’s current and future needs.
“This marks our first partnership with this Brazilian automotive manufacturer, and the successful commissioning of the endo generator is a significant milestone,” said Marcio Boragini, UPC-Marathon’s local representative. “We are pleased to hear
positive feedback from the ground crew who have firsthand experience with the generator. Their endorsement of its seamless operation, user-friendliness, and simplified maintenance further confirms the exceptional performance and functionality of EndoFlex.”
The turnkey system was successfully commissioned in May 2023.
