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.
