Keystone Powdered Metal Company (KPMC) and Engineered Sintered Components (ESC), both affiliates of Sumitomo Electric Industries (SEI), announced their planned merger on or about March 31, 2022. Already members of the SEI Sintered Metal Components Division, this merger is intended to leverage synergies that will strengthen the product and process portfolio and technical expertise of a leaner and more agile manufacturer of powder-metal components for the North American automotive, outdoor power equipment and industrial equipment markets. The merged entity will retain the Keystone Powdered Metal Company name.

Abbott Furnace Company designed, manufactured and installed a 6,000-SCFH endothermic gas generator at Sintergy Inc. in Reynoldsville, Pa. The generator has an innovative retort design that allows a single retort to produce endo gas at this rate without sacrificing gas quality and maintaining a 6:1 turndown ratio. According to Sintergy, a manufacturer of powder-metal components, it is only seeing ±1°F in dew-point variation from setpoint. Abbott included state-of-the-art controls with an Allen-Bradley PLC, data logging, dew-point and methane sensors, and an updated gas safety system.

Abbott Furnace Company received an order for a sintering furnace from a company that specializes in manufacturing ferrous-based, powder-metal components for the automotive, agricultural and industrial markets. The electrically heated, continuous-belt furnace, which is rated at 2150°F, will be delivered in the second quarter of 2020. Abbott Furnace will design, manufacture and install the furnace, which includes the Varicool cooling system. This will be the 36^th furnace Abbott Furnace has supplied to this company.
