Expansion of production site

The increasing demand for electric solutions had led the company Kanthal to expand their production site in Walldorf. The goal is to grow in the segment of electric industrial heating.

At the site in Walldorf, the company manufactures products like Fibrothal heating modules, process gas heaters, metallic heating elements and diffusion heating cassettes. With these products, industrial customers can switch to green technologies. The investment is made into expanding the current premises by around 2,500 m2 of production space and in to acquiring new devices to improve automation. The company also stated that the number of employees will increase by ten.

“We expect a quick increase in demand for our traditional heating solutions, but also our newly developed high temperature process gas heaters which are now being tested in number of pilot projects,” says Aaron Roy, President of the Business Unit Heating Systems at Kanthal.
