Commercial Heat Treatment Furnaces


Commercial heat treatment


For years now outsourcing has defined the new economics and the functioning of the industry. Companies are increasingly looking to outsource processes they consider non-core which allows them not just savings in terms of cost but also makes it possible for them to focus on what their core business is and on their customer.
Heat treatment is one such non-core manufacturing process, that is across the world seen an incremental shift from elaborate captive or in-house heat treatment facilities to outsourced heat treatment by a specialist. And the reasons are obvious.
Reduces in-house overheads
Releases valuable workspace for core activities
Improves carbon footprint – Energy consumption is the biggest Heat Treatment-associated cost, so outsourcing non-core thermal processing enables customers to implement plant-wide carbon reduction initiatives, as well as cutting waste disposal costs
Eliminates Compliance issues, Heat Treatment specific Accreditation and Documentation tasks
Lower capital investment
Frees internal resources for core business
Improves cost control – the actual cost of running an in-house Heat Treatment facility is often seriously undervalued, even largely unknown, whereas an outsourcing arrangement represents a known, fixed cost, strictly controlled by the contract agreement and agreed on technical specifications
Sharpens company focus – by outsourcing an important, a demanding but non-core process like heat treatment, the company is able to focus its energy and resources on core competencies and meeting customer needs, helping managers set clear business priorities
