In a joint statement, Sweden’s Thermalloys AB and Custom Electric
Manufacturing Co. announced an agreement in principle whereby Custom Electric
will be the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of Thermalloys’ high-temperature
industrial products in the U.S. Thermalloys manufactures thermocouple
protection tubes, hot gas injection tubes, gas sampling and analysis probes,
and related furnace components. These products, produced from Fe/Cr/Al alloys, operate
at temperatures up to 2600ºF (1425ºC). In heat-treating, die-casting, molten-metal
and related applications, Fe/Cr/Al components offer better durability, performance
and service life than iron-based, Ni/Cr and ceramic products.
According to Thermalloys, fabricating and shipping finished
products from Custom Electric’s Wixom, Mich., headquarters will provide U.S.
customers faster delivery, lower costs and superior service. According to Custom
Electric, Thermalloys’ high-temperature tubular products complement Custom
Electric’s heating elements and strengthen its position as a single-source
supplier of products for the industrial thermal-processing industry.
