When Anthony Quaglia purchased Bennett Heat Treating and Brazing in 1954, the company had a handful of furnaces and eight employees. Over 60 years later, Bennett – family owned and operated through three generations – has transformed into a two-facility, 49-employee business.          

The company, which was actually established in 1923, has locations in Newark, N.J., and Ivyland, Pa. In recent years, Bennett has primarily focused its efforts on smaller lots of high-quality, specialized work.
