Founded in 1947, Strohecker started as a custom fabricator of industrial equip- ment in high-temperature and corrosive environments. Soon after, Strohecker began developing techniques in the welding of heavy copper to itself and other dissimilar materials. It manufactured some of the earliest copper crucibles for the titanium industry and continued to develop its welding processes, so that by 1980, Strohecker’s crucible work had become the most important part of its business. Situated midway between Pittsburgh, PA and Cleveland, OH, Strohecker draws from a wide range of experienced specialty forming, machining, heat treating and testing services – all within close proximity. For over 70 years Strohecker has provided quality fabrication and repair services to most of the specialty melting shops across North America, as well as to producers in Latin America, Europe, and Asia. www.strohecker.com CONSARC CORPORATION just the equipment to perform the act - it requires the process knowledge developed over decades of experience. Consarc personnel around the world work directly with customers to refine their process, increasing production time, output, and repeatability. Globally, Consarc has about 150 employees in many locations; it is headquartered in New Jersey with 4,200 square meters of manufacturing; oper- ates an 1,800-square-meter manufacturing facility in Scotland; and partners with manufacturing teams at Inductotherm Group sister companies in China, India, Korea, and other countries. This, Lister believes, is Consarc’s biggest advan- tage to its customers.“We have access to 40 differ- ent locations, globally,”he says.“We are on all six continents, so we’re able to provide local support in local time zones to our global client base.We can leverage the knowledge of 2,900-plus employ- ees who have cumulatively been manufacturing for thousands of years and apply that knowledge directly to our local customers.” This is particularly helpful in the steel industry, where gone are the days of a large team of plant engineers running a whole facility. “Today,”Lister explains,“we’re seeing jobs that were traditional- ly handled by the steel plants and their team of engineers being pushed on to the OEMs.Many of our clients are increasingly reliant on us for things like installation or process knowledge, and we’ve evolved accordingly. We have dedicated teams of installation specialists, as well as an extensive R&D department,with staff engineering and technical
