Bodycote is pleased to announce plans to open a new heat treating facility in Elgin, Illinois. The new facility will include advanced heat treating technologies such as low pressure carburizing and carbonitriding, vacuum nitriding and ferritic nitrocarburizing, Bodycote’s proprietary Corr-I-Dur process, and traditional carburizing of large parts. The facility, scheduled to be operational by late 2019, will support the automotive, agricultural, mining, construction and various other manufacturing supply chains in the upper midwest region.

Dan McCurdy, president automotive and general industrial, North America & Asia division, adds: “This investment demonstrates Bodycote’s commitment to serving the Midwest with the services our customers ask for and require.”
