Our extensive knowledge and expertise, gained from decades of experience, provides multiple industries with superior solutions to their metal processing challenges.
We continually update our vacuum heat treating capabilities with state-of-the-art vacuum furnaces from the innovations spearheaded by our founder and Chief Executive Officer, William R.

Solar, a commercial heat treating company, maintains the highest standards of quality assurance, and your total satisfaction is our goal.
Solar, as a commercial heat treating company, operates four plant sites, three in the Souderton (Eastern PA) area and the 65,000 square foot facility in Hermitage (Western PA). We are also in the process of expanding the Solar Atmospheres name by building a new plant in California that will be fully operational in the 3rd quarter of 2010.
Both Eastern and Western PA offer large furnace capacity, advanced ten bar quenching and service characterized by quality and responsiveness. Through our foundational strengths—processing skills, furnace engineering knowledge, metallurgical consultation, and commitment to service—Solar has gained a reputation for quality vacuum heat treating and responsive service. Taking on the challenge as a commitment to new types of work is evidenced by the R&D efforts done for universities and national laboratories.
