Largest North American Commercial Heat Treaters-Vac Aero
April 5th of this year “The Monty Heat Treat News” will be presenting our 2025 list of “The 50 Largest North American Commercial Heat Treaters”-a heat treat industry exclusive.
A name which has appeared on our list for the past number of years is “Vac Aero” , a company with a very clear focus on the aerospace industry. As reported by “The Monty”, the company acquired “New Management in 2023” and the changes in the company have been nothing less than astonishing. While we can’t say too much at this point in time, we can say that we will be seeing some very interesting announcements from the firm in the near future and that Vac Aero will be moving up in our rankings from the current #35 position in North America.
“APRIL 2024; #35 Vac Aero; Vac Aero is our third and final Canadian heat treater to make our list this year. “VAC AERO International provides heat treating and brazing of advanced materials for the aerospace and other high technology industries. Specializing in vacuum processing, VAC AERO holds numerous heat treating and quality system approvals from prime manufacturers, with AS9100 and NADCAP accredited plants strategically located within the Toronto to Montreal aerospace manufacturing corridor of Canada.
The Oakville, Ontario operation is one of North America’s largest subcontract heat treaters of aircraft landing gear components while the St Laurent, Quebec operation is focused primarily on gas turbine engine and airframe component.” Under relatively new management we are seeing substantial growth in both their heat-treating division and in their furnace manufacturing division. https://vacaero.com/metallurgical-services/heat-treating.html“
