Thermal engineering for East Tennessee manufacturers
From Knoxville's machine shops to Kingsport's chemical plants, East Tennessee runs the kind of thermal processes we were built for — and it's a short haul up I-75 from Spartanburg.
Chemicals, metals, defense and food
Four industries define the region's heat demand: specialty chemicals, aluminum and metals, defense and national-lab work, and the food plants feeding I-75's corridor towns.
Chemical & Specialty Processing
Corrosion-resistant elements, trace heat and high-integrity instrumentation for reactor and additive lines around Kingsport.
Chemical processingAluminum & Metals Heat Treat
Furnace elements, high-range thermocouples and SCR power for rolling, extrusion and finishing operations in Maryville and Alcoa.
High-temp productsDefense & Lab Facilities
Bakeout, curing and test heating with the documentation defense and federal sites expect — Oak Ridge and Beyond.
Panel capabilitiesCustom Panels — Built & Shipped
UL-recognized multi-zone panels engineered to your spec, delivered ready for install — no field improvisation.
The complete thermal loopFrom our shop to your floor
Knoxville is the nearest out-of-state market we serve. Parts and panels ship next-day, and because East Tennessee sits past the 80-mile line, on-site visits are scheduled ahead rather than same-day — we plan them around your outage windows.

Yes. We ship parts, deliver built panels and schedule on-site work across Knox, Blount, Loudon, Sullivan, Washington and Hamblen counties.
Parts and built panels ship next-day from Spartanburg. Hands-on work is scheduled ahead — the distance means visits take longer to arrange than for our Upstate plants, so we book around your planned downtime and group trips. Phone and video support is same-day.
We build the panels and supply the hardware for such sites regularly; facility access follows your employer's procedures. Our contribution is documented, repeatable equipment.
Yes — elements, refractory-compatible sensors and control out past 2,000 °F, with SCR power matched to the furnace's load profile.
