Following the acquisition of Vacuum Furnace Engineering Ltd. (VFE) in 2021, (Telford, U.K.) announces the evolution of its autoclave solutions offerings into the Busch brand. The integration of autoclave solutions has reportedly expanded the company’s service offerings and portfolio, enabling it to address all autoclave, oven and associated composites manufacturing requirements.
Busch reassures former VFE customers that they will continue to work with the same team they have worked with for many years. The Autoclave Solutions Centre in Poole will continue operations under the Busch banner, while the VFE facility in Halesowen will likewise remain dedicated to vacuum furnace solutions.
Busch claims itself a one-stop-shop for customers’ autoclave requirements, offering support irrespective of brand. Furthermore, Busch offers new equipment and upgrades, including autoclaves, ovens, cooling systems, vacuum systems and control systems. The autoclave management and control system (AMCS), engineered by an in-house team, can be customized to meet customer requirements.
