A vacuum brazing and heat treating company recently announced plans to expand its Greenville County, SC, operations to accommodate a new hot isostatic press. This equipment is designed to improve ductility and stress resistance of critical, high-performance manufactured materials.
Accurate Brazing, a division of Aalberts N.V., one of the largest heat treating and brazing companies in the world, is upgrading approximately 20,000 square feet of an existing facility in Greenville County to install the HIP. Since 1989, Accurate Brazing has provided heat treating and brazing applications to support aircraft, ground turbine and power generation markets. The company heat treats materials that include stainless steel, super alloys, copper and refractory materials.
Aalberts N.V. employs approximately 16,500 people at more than 150 locations in 50 countries around the globe. The $13 million expansion project is expected to create at least eight additional jobs and be complete in the second quarter of 2020.
"Accurate Brazing is a very important member of our business community and we are proud of their growth and success," said Greenville County Council Chairman and Board Member of the Greenville Area Development Corporation H.G. "Butch" Kirven.
