HeatTek acquires two more facilities

HeatTek Inc, manufacturer of the Evolve line of ovens and washers, has just announced the purchase of an additional facility in Ixonia, WI. This new building will primarily serve as a distribution center for the company’s rapidly growing inventory of components and replacement parts.

This expansion follows the acquisition of another plant in nearby West Allis, which was finalized earlier this year. The West Allis plant has three warehouses offering more than 150,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space, a combined 400-ton crane capacity and a specialized stainless steel warehouse.

“Our customers serve critical industries and are seeing historically high demand. HeatTek is committed to supporting them,” explains Jason Plowman, president of HeatTek. “Due to the large size of our equipment, floor space is an important asset, so investing in new facilities is essential.”

HeatTek’s original location will continue to house its headquarters, R&D lab and more than 70,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Plowman summarizes, “The recent expansion has tripled our capacity and optimized our manufacturing process so we can support these crucial industries.”

In 2000, some of the brightest minds in the furnace and heat treating industry combined hundreds of years of experience to form HeatTek. The goal was simple: to deliver the highest quality equipment and back it up with superior customer service and on-site support. Today, HeatTek’s commitment to “never settle” ensures that customers remain as profitable and efficient as possible.
By focusing on research and development, as well as a commitment to hiring and retaining great people, HeatTek continues to be a pioneer in the heat treating industry, earning the trust of more manufacturers every year.
All HeatTek equipment is designed and built in the United States by a team of dedicated people working toward the same goal: “Never settle.”
