Tuesday May 21, 2021 there will be an auction in Irwin, PA, USA of the surplus assets of Kennametal Corp. The auction will feature some rather unusual vacuum furnaces, specifically Sinter HIP furnaces. We were asked a couple of months back our opinion of the equipment, our response was that while there is nothing wrong with the furnaces they are older units with a very limited number of potential buyers. There is also a Centorr vacuum furnace, again an older unit. That was two months ago, in the current climate we would suggest that the vendors take any offer.
