Customized heat treatment systems, made to measure
Heat treatment systems made by schwartz GmbH are designed and built individually to match specific user requirements, relying on our expertise and experience in this field since 1984.
Our equipment allows heat treatment processes to be carried out in air, protective gas and/or reactive atmospheres. For the heat treatment of aluminum in particular, we design and manufacture equipment with high-convection heating methods.
Innovation based on experience
Throughout the decades, our innovative technologies have gained centre stage time and again. Thus, in the summer of 2015, we were honoured with the AC² Innovation Award bestowed by the Aachen Region.
