In fact, the demand for heat treatment technologies is booming in the aerospace industry, whilst in two other business sectors like medical and metals powders this equipment will face a rapid expansion in the near future. “Qijing group represents a solid industrial partner, in search of an excellent European technological player to expand its business. While we as Tenova are focused more and more on the “green” technologies for large steel and aluminum plants, I am convinced that Qijing is the right purchaser to boost the development of the HTC companies, that will enhance them and develop their full potential in other sectors”.
