AICHELIN Group expands into industrial vacuum furnace market 02 January 2025

Heat treatment expert AICHELIN Group has expanded its product range to include innovative industrial vacuum furnaces and technologies. These modern, flexible and environmentally friendly solutions are sold, designed and produced by the joint venture company AICHELIN ST Vacuum GmbH, which was founded in May. 

The innovative vacuum furnaces offer the usual high AICHELIN quality and clear advantages for companies in industries such as aerospace, the energy sector, tool and mould making, the automotive industry, medical technology and contract heat treatment – with the modular design enabling customer-specific solutions for various heat treatment requirements.

“By expanding our portfolio, we are completing our offering in industrial heat treatment. Our vacuum furnaces combine technological innovation with sustainability. This allows us to support our customers in optimising their production processes and reducing their ecological footprint at the same time,” reports Christian Grosspointner, CEO of the AICHELIN Group.

The new technology solutions are characterised by precise process control, energy-efficient design and user-friendly operation. Fast heating and cooling times considerably reduce cycle times, which leads to a significant increase in process efficiency. The furnaces are versatile and can be used for the heat treatment of various materials for hardening, brazing and sintering. 

The energy efficient processes also help to reduce the carbon footprint – while providing solutions to the challenges of modern manufacturing. This combination enables industrial companies to increase their production quality, optimise processes, significantly lower operating costs and reduce emissions at the same time. Companies also benefit from short delivery times and the global AICHELIN sales and service network.
