Gasbarre Products, Inc. Announces Enhancements to Thermal Processing Systems- New Developments at Gasbarre

DuBois, Pa – Gasbarre Products, Inc. (Gasbarre) is pleased to announce 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.  Over the last 8 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 maintain a strong presence in the Detroit area with a sales, engineering and service facility.  Ben Gasbarre will maintain his leadership role within the Plymouth, Michigan location.  The sales and technical team are excited to drive Gasbarre’s furnace systems into the future.  Gasbarre has plans to not only design and service its equipment but to eventually establish a technical center for process testing and demonstration purposes.  Ben Gasbarre stated, “The move will allow us to better utilize our highly-skilled personnel to accelerate advancements to our products, technology and services.”

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.
