History
Our legacy began in 1951 as a company established to
deliver terra cotta products for the building industry.
Over the ensuing decades, the company engineered solutions
for a broad spectrum of applications with materials ranging
from cordierite to stabilized zirconia. Often these products
were used by other ceramic companies to improve their
processing abilities. The applications ranged from industrial
heating to biomedical.
The success over the last 20 years drove a five fold
increase in production capacity. Furthermore, our capability
to fire more efficiently at ever higher temperatures,
enabled the ability to deliver fine grained, dense, high
performance ceramics at very attractive prices to our
customers.
Future
The year 2006 marked a new milestone for the company
as it was purchased by Acera Technology, Inc. Acera Technology
was founded by a group of Engineers and Scientists, each
with decades of technical expertise and business management
skills. Collectively we have developed innovative solutions
to problems spanning industries from cosmetics to semiconductors.
Our vision is to enhance product performance by applying
nontraditional techniques to ceramic manufacturing while
simultaneously removing manufacturing costs and lead-times.
We believe that the “one size solution” fits
nobody perfectly. The “average customer” exists
only mathematically and yet we observe that not a single
one of our customers is a formula. Consequently, we strive
to truly understand the requirements for a given customer’s
application such that we can value engineer an optimal
solution. Our success will be driven by our ability to
create value for our customers such that they can better
compete within their own markets.
The Acera Mission
Surpass our customers’ expectations with superior
performance products tailored to their specific needs. |
