Aalberts Surface Technologies Forms U.S. Heat Treatment Business Unit

Aalberts Surface Technologies’ subsidiaries Specialized Heat Treatment U.S. and Aalberts Surface Technologies - Accurate Brazing have merged into a single business unit. The combined companies now operate as Aalberts Surface Technologies - HIP | Braze | Heat Treatment.

Specialized Heat Treatment U.S. was formed when Premier Thermal, Applied Process and Ionic Technologies were rebranded as Aalberts Surface Technologies – Specialized Heat Treatment U.S. in 2022. Accurate Brazing was founded in 1989 in Goffstown, New Hampshire, and has been part of the Aalberts family since 2006, rebranding as Aalberts Surface Technologies – Accurate Brazing in 2022.

The realignment includes the 13 facilities operating as Specialized Heat Treatment U.S. and the four facilities operating as Aalberts Surface Technologies - Accurate Brazing. With its 17 diverse facilities, Aalberts Surface Technologies - HIP|Braze|Heat Treatment is one of the largest providers of thermal processing and metal joining technologies in the U.S.

Steve Wyatt is leading Aalberts Surface Technologies – HIP|Braze|Heat Treatment as its president. Brent Davis, formerly president of Accurate Brazing, serves as a director of operations with responsibility for all facilities in Connecticut, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Rebranding activities have started and will continue throughout 2023. Day-to-day plant operations will be largely unaffected.

“Having our U.S. thermal processing businesses operate within a single business unit creates an integrated organization that offers a wider array of technologies to our customers,” Wyatt says. “With our commitment to cutting edge technologies and access to global resources, we are positioned well, with an eye on the future.”

Over the course of 30 years, Accurate Brazing has built a strong reputation, partnering with its customers in pursuit of shared success. “Moving forward as Aalberts Surface Technologies - HIP | Braze | Heat Treatment, we will continue that partnership, providing an even stronger portfolio of thermal processing technologies,” Davis says.
