AFC-Holcroft, a member of the Aichelin Group and global leader in the thermal processing equipment industry, announced a partnership with Sanken Sangyo Co. LTD., a Japanese-based leader in that industry.

Under the terms of the agreement, Sanken Sangyo will provide their leading technology in rotary hearth aluminum heat-treating equipment to AFC-Holcroft in the United States and Canada to enhance the capabilities of AFC-Holcroft’s product offering within a variety of industries. The partnership will enable AFC-Holcroft to offer customers a more sophisticated energy efficient design to what the market currently has available.

“We’re excited to partner with Sanken Sangyo, a leader in the development of rotary hearth aluminum heat treating furnaces,” said Tracy Dougherty, COO of AFC-Holcroft. “This partnership will allow us to continue our growth in the aluminum heat-treating market by complementing our current product offering (roller hearths, chain conveyors, pushers, mesh belts, etc.) with Sanken Sangyo’s energy-efficient rotary hearth technology while reducing floor space, operating costs, and the carbon footprint for our customers.”

“With AFC-Holcroft’s history of over 100 years in the heat-treating industry and Sanken Sangyo’s rotary heat treatment furnace technology, we are very excited and looking forward to making an enormous impact in the aluminum heat-treating market as a combined force,” said Nick Maroudas, overseas sales officer of Sanken Sangyo.

The partnership signifies AFC-Holcroft’s continued commitment to expansion into the growing aluminum heat-treating market.
