PTC Industries’ UK arm has signed a five-year collaboration with Finnish tech firm Coolbrook to bring advanced heating technology into high-end metal manufacturing.
The deets: the partnership will explore using Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic Heater (RDH), a technology that generates extremely high temperatures using electricity instead of fossil fuels. This can be used in metal processing and advanced manufacturing, especially for industries like aerospace and defence.
Why this matters: making aerospace-grade components requires very high-temperature industrial processes, which traditionally rely on gas or other fossil fuels. Coolbrook’s electric heating technology could help manufacturers cut emissions while improving efficiency.
Zoom out: PTC Industries is rapidly expanding in aerospace and defence manufacturing, supplying complex metal components used in aircraft engines and other high-performance systems.
Collaborations like this could help the company adopt next-generation industrial technology while positioning itself as a player in cleaner, high-tech manufacturing.
