A Heat Treating Partner That Gives a HOT Damn

About You, Your Project, and American Manufacturing

Partner with Peters’ Heat Treating for Precise Metallurgical and Thermal Processing Solutions, Friendly Service, and No Surprises

Doug Peters started a heat treating business in 1979 because that’s what his community needed. He knew nothing about it, but he was determined to solve this major problem for the tool and die makers who were the backbone of the economy in Meadville, Pennsylvania at the time. So, he brought in a heat-treating expert to teach him everything he knew about metallurgical and thermal processing and grew the business one furnace at a time.

That level of care for community and commitment to solving problems is what continues to make Peters’ Heat Treating such a valued partner to manufacturers across the region, becoming a seamless extension of their supply chain.

“Peters’ always goes that extra mile. You’re going to get everything you ever wanted and more, you’re going to get a partner in business.”

–Ann Brown, Production Manager at CONNEX Incorporated
