H.C. Starck recently announced that it has been chosen by ARC Energy to supply hot zones and furnace components fabricated from high performance technology metals for ARC Energy's CHES furnaces.
"ARC Energy is pleased to announce H.C. Starck has passed our rigorous qualification process for supplying furnace components," said Dr. Rick Schwerdtfeger, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer for ARC Energy. "Authorizing H.C. Starck gives CHES furnace customers more choices, yet assures the same quality and performance to meet the original furnace specifications."
"We are delighted to enter into this agreement with ARC Energy and become their authorized hot zone vendor. ARC Energy's unique on-axis process delivers tremendous advantages for large size substrates, but also requires precision and highest quality of critical system components such as hot zones. With our fully operational capabilities in Taicang, China, we are in a unique position to service the CHES platforms installed in Asia and allow the end users to benefit from our manufacturing excellence and global capabilities," said Dmitry Shashkov, Member of H.C. Starck's Executive Board and Head of the Business Unit Fabricated Products.
Further enhancing H.C. Starck's secure material supply chain in China is the joint venture with Jiangxi Rare Metals Tungsten Group Holding Co. Ltd. (JXTC). Once operational, the facility will provide higher quality tungsten products to H.C. Starck's vertically integrated supply chain, a distinct advantage to serve the fast growing markets in Asia.
