Solar Atmospheres Acquires Vac-Met, Inc.



Solar Atmospheres, Inc. has announced the acquisition of Vac-Met, Inc. With locations in Warren and Fraser, MI, Vac-Met has built a strong heat treating presence in the Midwest over the last 41 years.

The addition of Vac-Met within the Solar family of companies will increase the total commercial vacuum heat treating and brazing facilities to a total of five plants across the USA. "Vac-Met's goal of providing state-of-the-art commercial heat treating, primarily in a vacuum environment, aligns perfectly with Solar's mission," said a spokesperson.

Joseph White will continue to head the day-to-day operations of Vac-Met's nine vacuum furnaces, while leading the team he has built over the years. White will report to Robert Hill, President of Solar Atmospheres of Western PA.

Hill said, "We look forward to continuing to provide unparalleled vacuum thermal processing services to Vac-Met's valued customers while expanding Solar's footprint. Solar is excited to support a dedicated and loyal employee base and welcome them to the Solar team. Together, we will grow the business with unwavering commitment to honesty as our core value."
