MIHEU Purchases 2nd Vector® Vacuum Furnace from SECO/WARWICK
(May 16, 2017) - MIHEU, a family owned Slovenian commercial heat treater, recently ordered a new SECO/WARWICK Vector® vacuum heat treating system to augment an existing Vector furnace installed in February 2016. MIHEU will use the new Vector system to increase production while ensuring high quality work with repeatable results.

Previously, MIHEU purchased an atmosphere furnace equipped with SECO/WARWICK's signature technology, ZeroFlow, for nitrocarburizing and controlled gas nitriding. Satisfaction with SECO/WARWICK's equipment efficiency, expertise and experience became the basis for MIHEU's continued cooperation and purchase of additional equipment this year.

MIHEU's heat treatment center is a family business that started its operation from a small workshop. Currently MIHEU enjoys a strong international presence and the scope of its services is constantly expanding. However, achieving such results would not be possible without the cooperation with reliable partners offering the best, solid and innovative solutions. Such a company is SECO/WARWICK," said Aleš Prikeržnik, Managing Director at MIHEU.
