Specnow

Specnow is a small business operating in the niche market for vacuum thermal processes. Our main customer base is in the UK; we also supply and service installations throughout mainland Europe, in Ireland, and North America. The company is structured as a fast response projecting and service team. In house strengths include: design, IT, precision engineering, advanced materials fabrications, and bespoke systems construction. We maintain a workshop and an assembly shop in two adjacent buildings, allowing us to have complete control over the whole design and build process. Over the last 12 years Specnow’s efficient and agile multi-skill business model has given its customers a stable supplier, providing a cost effective and dependable service.
Our major products are Vacuum Furnaces and Electron Beam Welding machines; they are customised for the application and delivered as a turnkey solution. We also design and supply special plant such as Induction Vacuum Rigs, and miniature jigged assembly processors for precision heat treatments. The furnaces are generally modest in scale (typically 30 – 60 litres loadable volume) and are applied to small component batch processing. The salient features and benefits of our designs are related to flexibility, high performance, and user friendliness. The furnaces are suited equally to R&D and production, with an increasing number of clients carrying out both disciplines in the same unit.
