Ambrell Opens New Applications Lab in Mexico

Induction heating parts testing will be done in this new facility.

inTEST Corporation, a global supplier of innovative test and process solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in key target markets which include automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, security, and semiconductor, today announced the opening of a new Ambrell Applications Laboratory in Mexico. “THE LAB in Mexico” will be dedicated to representing Ambrell induction heating products and solutions for the Latin America market. THE LAB is being opened in partnership with EPGA Induction, a distributor of Ambrell equipment in Mexico and Latin America, providing sales, service and application development in the region. Process applications can be tested in this facility, enabling customers from the region to work closely with applications engineers to realize how Ambrell technology can address their production challenges.

“EPGA Induction was a natural partner with whom to establish an Applications Laboratory in Mexico given their extensive experience with induction heating and Ambrell equipment. We are confident they will deliver a superior experience to our customers,” stated Scott Nolen, Division President of Process Technologies.

He added, “The expansion of our presence in Mexico with a sales, service, and Applications Laboratory creates greater opportunities to demonstrate how our capabilities with induction heating technology can solve complex production problems for our customers. By using THE LAB to preview our technology in use, we can validate the potential for improved productivity, reduced carbon footprint and better product quality. We are looking forward to demonstrating these results to the many manufacturers throughout the region.”

The Company’s induction heating systems range from 500 W to 1,000 kW and are used for applications such as annealing, brazing, curing, soldering, heat staking, heat treating and shrink fitting. Many leading companies around the world in industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical and semiconductor use Ambrell induction heating solutions. Customers can send their parts to the nearest applications laboratory where solutions are designed to prove feasibility prior to making the investment in an all-electric, clean heating option for their production processes.

To commemorate the opening of this new state-of-the-art facility, an Open House was held on May 6th from 12:15-5:00pm at the facility in Monterrey.
