Ipsen, Cherry Valley, Ill., announces that despite uncertain market conditions presented by the Coronavirus pandemic, the company saw an increase in orders placed during July, building positive momentum for the third quarter.
Five vacuum furnace orders were placed from four customers, each with unique process requirements in the aerospace, defense, and commercial heat-treating industries. The product mix varies from MetalMaster to TurboTreater to Ipsen’s signature vacuum aluminum brazing furnace, all designed to meet specific needs.
In addition to the five new orders, nine furnaces were shipped in July to customers across six states in the United States, as well as Canada and the United Kingdom.
“Ipsen has worked with international operations teams for decades, shipping equipment from the United States to countries all over the world,” says Ipsen USA President and CEO Patrick McKenna. “With the identification of Ipsen USA as the Vacuum Center of Excellence, we can continue servicing those companies with the level of quality they expect and deserve.”
Orders this year have included a healthy blend of new equipment, aftermarket parts, service, and retrofits. The company is hopeful this upward trend will continue through the fourth quarter.
