Texas Heat Treater Adding Second Location
Almost exactly one year ago “The Monty Heat Treat News” had this exclusive news item (below) about commercial heat treater “Worldwide Heat Treat” in Houston, Texas, USA;“In 2018 Mr. Robert Gutierrez, a very well-known individual in the Texas commercial heat treatment industry started his own firm, “Worldwide Heat Treat” in Houston, Texas. Since day 1 the company has thrived by offering a number of different processes. The company has grown so much that they have just moved into a 40,000 square foot building (versus the previous one which was 9,000 square feet) and are adding more equipment. Two pit carburizing furnaces are in the process of being installed, each have working dimensions of 64″ diameter X 84″ deep and are equipped with SSi controls. Other recent or upcoming additions include a very large temper unit and a gas nitriding furnace.”
We can now announce that as of January 2025 the firm is in the process of adding a second location. The new facility, also in the Houston area is 18,000 square feet, sits on 4 acres of land and is equipped with a 10-ton crane. While the new plant will offer several different heat treat processes the focus is on “boronizing” of parts all the way up to 10 tons. In addition to boronizing the location with have nitrogen generators and ammonia dissociated generators along with pit furnaces capable of handling parts up to 100″ in diameter X 144″ long with a weight capacity up to 10 tons (Editor’s note; last year commercial heat treater Metlab in PA closed depriving the North American market of a great deal of heat treating capacity for large gears. In our opinion this recent addition by Worldwide will help to fill a void for commercial heat treating of very large parts).
Future plans for the company include subzero treatment and a mechanical testing lab either at this location or perhaps in the form of an acquisition. “The Monty” looks forward to announcing all of these future projects as they occur. Did you like this article? Click here to subscribe to The Monty.
