The use of a specialist contract heat treater is the preferred source of heat treatment for a large section of industry. Any realistic assessment of "in-plant" treatment costs which takes account of all the factors involved will show that contract treatment offers the most effective option in all but a minority of special situations.

By the use of contract heat treatment you can:

• reduce your capital plant requirements
• release valuable works space for more of your core activity
• avoid the cost of providing the highly-skilled supervision needed to manage today's sophisticated treatments
  
• achieve greater flexibility in selecting the best treatment for each job
• permit new treatments and procedures to be implemented immediately they are available, without capital cost
