Metals Supplier’s Expansion Includes Heat Treat Equipment

A Michigan-based supplier of custom copper, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metal forging recently broadened its investment in equipment and facilities, including a size expansion to a furnace for heat treating.

Weldaloy Products Company serves aerospace, astrospace, electronics, oil and gas, and other industries, providing heat treating, as well as product development, drafting, machining, packaging, non-destructive testing, and material conversion. Among other additions, a 2,000-ton press has undergone a modernization of its hydraulic system, including pumps, motors, and controls, upgraded ring roller controls. Weldaloy will be expanding its campus in Warren, Michigan, through acquiring two adjacent manufacturing facilities.

“These investments allow us to meet the needs of our customers,” said Kurt Ruppenthal, Weldaloy’s vice president and general manager. “Specifically, we’re increasing our capabilities as a supplier to the aerospace and astrospace markets.”
