Heat Treat Today inadvertently omitted some important news regarding Gasbarre Products in last Friday’s News Chatter. Our apologies. The correct information is below.
Gasbarre Products, Inc. has announced that at the end of 2019 all thermal processing systems will be manufactured in its 50,000 sq. ft. facility located in St. Mary’s, Pennsylvania.
In 2011 Gasbarre acquired the JL Becker brand of industrial furnace equipment, and over the last eight years, Gasbarre has run parallel manufacturing facilities in Michigan and Pennsylvania for its furnace equipment. Consolidating the manufacturing of its common product lines allow for the most efficient use of its floor space, equipment, and manufacturing processes.

According to Gasbarre CEO, Alex Gasbarre, “This move is not only beneficial to our current operations, but it will directly impact our customers. Our St. Mary’s facility has a track record of on-time delivery, quality, safety, and efficient processing. Those factors will drive competitive pricing with quick delivery.”
Gasbarre will remain in the Detroit area with a sales, engineering, and service facility. Ben Gasbarre, president of Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems, will maintain his leadership role within the Plymouth, Michigan, location. The sales and technical team will drive Gasbarre’s furnace systems into the future. Gasbarre has plans to not only design and service its equipment but also to eventually establish a technical center for process testing and demonstration purposes. “The move will allow us to better utilize our highly-skilled personnel to accelerate advancements to our products, technology, and services,” said Ben Gasbarre.
Expansion in St. Mary’s will be necessary, so plans have begun for an additional 12,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space with additional office and conference room capacity. This will be a significant investment in the furnace operations to drive manufacturing, technology, and growth into the future.
