Rogers Engineering & Manufacturing

What Rogers Engineering & Manufacturing does

Rogers Engineering & Manufacturing, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Cambridge City, Indiana, is a privately held manufacturer of industrial thermal processing equipment and a provider of related lifecycle services. The company designs and builds continuous furnaces (roller hearth, mesh belt, rotary hearth, pusher, walking beam, open flame solder and braze systems), batch furnaces (box, bell, pit, integral quench, elevator, and car bottom), and atmosphere production equipment (exothermic, endothermic, dissociated ammonia generators with switchover and flow panels). Its equipment supports heat treatment processes including aluminum CAB braze, copper braze, sintering, hardening, quench and draw, annealing, forging anneal, carburizing, and pigment oxidation. The company reports active sales to customers in the United States and 14 additional countries, and describes its customer base as comprising top global industrial firms.

Beyond its core furnace manufacturing business, Rogers operates metal specialty fabrication capabilities—a 6' x 12' 4000 watt laser cutter, 6' x 12' 200 amp plasma cutter, and 350 ton CNC press brake—delivered as services for cutting, forming, assembly, and welding projects. The firm also provides aftermarket support through redesign, rebuild, preventive maintenance, repair, and training services.

Rogers generates revenue through two primary streams: one-time equipment sales of custom-engineered thermal processing systems and professional services covering lifecycle support and metal fabrication. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with engineer deployment available on customer sites within 48 hours of initial contact. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based given the custom nature of each installation. No revenue figures, ownership structure, institutional investors, or management roster beyond President Bill Rogers are disclosed in public sources.
