Company Overview and History
Glenro Inc. has been a provider of precision-engineered heating and lamination solutions for industrial manufacturing for over 65 years, having been founded in 1958. The company specializes in custom process heating and laminating systems designed to enhance reliability, efficiency, and precise heat control for high-performance production lines. Glenro's approach is deeply process-driven, ensuring that solutions integrate seamlessly into new or existing manufacturing workflows. The company's expertise spans all three modes of heat transfer: radiant, convection, and conduction, allowing for comprehensive solutions tailored to diverse client needs.
Core Products and Services
Glenro offers a wide range of specialized equipment and services. Their heating solutions include high-efficiency industrial infrared systems, such as Radplane Infrared Heaters (known for rapid response and high energy transfer, with ceramic face options up to 2000 watts per square foot), Radplane Quartz Lamp Heaters (delivering 50-100 watts per linear inch, up to 4000°F), and Radround Infrared Heaters (for 360° even heating of cylindrical products, 42' long with 2'-14' interior diameters). The company also manufactures industrial drying and curing systems, including Impingement, Flotation, and Through-Air dryers, along with specialty batch-style ovens and combination hot air/infrared systems. For coating applications, Glenro provides precision conformal dip coating machines for electronics, medical devices, and industrial components, designed for uniform protective layers with customizable parameters. Their custom lamination systems feature models like the HPL (with Silcurv™ heating), HPH (for materials up to 6 inches thick, with Conductaplane™ heating), and MPL (compact design). Additionally, Glenro supplies air pollution control equipment, including recuperative thermal oxidizers, recuperative catalytic oxidizers, and regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) for VOCs, smoke, and odor control.
Commitment to Customer Success
A key aspect of Glenro's service is its comprehensive process development and testing capabilities. The company offers pilot testing, feasibility studies, and in-plant testing through an equipment rental program, allowing manufacturers to validate processes before significant investment. Glenro's ConLam™ facility in Maysville, Kentucky, further expands their contract lamination and testing operations. Beyond equipment, Glenro provides ongoing support, system upgrades, optimization services, and fast access to spare parts and maintenance, ensuring long-term operational efficiency and reliability for customers in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical devices, textiles, and packaging.
