Bodycote, provider of advanced heat treatment and specialist thermal processing services, has announced that its new facility in Fairfield, OH, has achieved Nadcap accreditation for heat treating, vacuum brazing, and TIG welding, marking a key milestone in the site's progression toward full operations.
This investment strengthens Bodycote's North American footprint and supports growing demand for high-specification thermal processing in the aerospace, defense, and industrial manufacturing sectors.
Construction of the 55,000-sq.-ft. facility began in March 2024, with initial production trials underway since March 2025. Strategically located in Fairfield, just north of Cincinnati, the site offers proximity to key customer hubs across Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky-enabling faster turnaround times and enhanced logistics efficiency for regional manufacturers.
With Nadcap accreditation secured, Bodycote is now entering the final stages of customer qualification and production ramp-up. The facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art braze department, vacuum furnaces, aluminum furnaces, TIG weld and FPI, and is designed to meet the most demanding performance and quality standards required in critical industries.
"This accreditation underscores our commitment to quality, consistency, and service excellence for our customers," said Heidi McNary, President, Global ADE and Surface Technology at Bodycote. "Fairfield represents a key addition to Bodycote's North American network, providing increased capacity and proximity for customers in this important industrial corridor."
The facility is also expected to create 10 new skilled jobs in the Fairfield region, reinforcing Bodycote's continued investment in advanced manufacturing and workforce development across the state of Ohio.
