In August of last year, AvCarb closed on the acquisition of a state-of-the-art idled heat treatment manufacturing facility in Wadsworth, OH, near Cleveland. The location provides expanded capacity for development and manufacturing of engineered carbon components and other graphitized products. The strategic acquisition brings significant manufacturing assets, lab space, and improved energy costs to AvCarb. The new site has 28 large induction coil furnaces, capable of achieving temperatures up to 3000° C. In addition to the existing furnaces, we have added carbonization capability. With a 105,000 square feet of unused floor space, the site will support further expansion of AvCarb’s manufacturing capacity. After 6 months of integrating and recommissioning work, the site is once again operational. We expect this asset’s capability and improved process control will enable AvCarb to expand production of the highest quality and most efficient engineered carbons and graphitized products in the world.
As the global demand for carbonized and graphitized carbon continues to rapidly expand, this facility provides us the opportunity to offer you carbonization and graphitization services via a heat treatment tolling arrangement. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our new facility and enhanced heat treatment tolling services, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
