“Founded in 1981, “Volunteer Sintered Products” (VSP) is a global provider of custom-engineered powdered metal (PM). Since starting in Lafayette, TN, VSP continuous pursuit of new technologies and capabilities has led to a growing global footprint. VSP has grown its manufacturing operations throughout the Eastern part of the United States and continues to expand in and outside of the country.”

The company has started 2026 off on a very positive note by adding a brand-new mesh belt sintering furnace provided by “Gasbarre Thermal Processing Systems” of St Mary’s, PA, USA. The furnace was recently delivered and is expected to enter production shortly. While “Gasbarre” offers a number of different styles of thermal processing systems, we would suggest that when it comes to sintering furnaces there are very few firms in the world that can claim the same level of experience.
