About Solar Manufacturing
Solar Manufacturing operates from a 65,000-square-foot facility in Sellersville, Pennsylvania. The privately held company was incorporated in 2002 as a producer of vacuum heat-treating furnaces, building on the foundation of Solar Atmospheres, which William R. Jones founded in 1983. Today the business is led by President Trevor Jones and remains affiliated with Solar Atmospheres, the largest vacuum-only commercial heat-treating company in North America. The company designs and builds a range of vacuum furnaces — including horizontal internal-quench, horizontal external-quench, vertical bottom-loading, and car-bottom models up to 48 feet long — along with graphite and molybdenum hot zones and a full line of spare parts. Its equipment supports processes such as hardening, brazing, stress relieving, normalizing, annealing, tempering, carburizing, nitriding, and sintering. The in-house team of engineers, mechanics, electricians, and technicians also provides on-site preventive maintenance, helium leak testing, residual gas analysis, and technical support, all managed through the proprietary SolarVac® Polaris control system with ConserVac® energy management. Solar Manufacturing serves primarily aerospace, titanium-processing, electrical-power-generation, and super-alloy industries. Recent shipments include a large vacuum carburizing furnace delivered to a prominent aerospace supplier in July 2025 and an upgraded Ipsen VFC-924 hot zone supplied to a aerospace manufacturer. The affiliation with Solar Atmospheres, which operates more than 60 vacuum furnaces across multiple U.S. locations, gives the manufacturer direct access to thermal-processing R&D and field data. The company's stated mission emphasizes designing, building, and servicing technologically advanced furnaces for vacuum thermal processing with a focus on quality, responsive service, and honesty in all relationships. Differentiators cited by the firm include energy-efficient and cost-effective furnace designs, unmatched expertise in solving difficult heat-treating problems, and a service organization trained to minimize customer downtime.
