Bodycote recently announced the opening of a new facility in Elgin, Illinois.

The Elgin facility upgrades the company's capabilities and positions Bodycote as part of an ongoing strategy to provide the best possible capabilities and geographical network to better serve customers from the agricultural, mining, construction, automotive and various other manufacturing supply chains in the Upper Midwest region.

The brand new facility is now fully operational and supporting customer requirements. Bodycote continues to provide all of the processes and capabilities which were previously offered at the Melrose Park location. Additionally, the new state of the art facility in Elgin offers nitriding, Corr-I-Dur, nitrocarburizing and low pressure carburizing (LPC) solutions.

Stephen Harris, Bodycote Group chief executive, commented, “We’re very pleased to announce the opening of the new facility in Elgin, Illinois. The purpose-built facility demonstrates Bodycote’s commitment to serving the Midwest and helps us to shape the future of both our company and the industry.”

Bodycote has more than 70 facilities in North America. There will be an official opening event when COVID-19 related restrictions are lifted.
