What Global Thermal Solutions does

Global Thermal Solutions (GTS) is a privately held, Mexico-based specialized pyrometry and heat treatment compliance services company serving the aerospace, automotive, and industrial heat treatment sectors. The company operates an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory that delivers Temperature Uniformity Surveys (TUS), System Accuracy Tests (SAT), thermocouple calibration, and temperature profiling in conformance with CQI-9 and AMS2750 standards, enabling clients to achieve and maintain Nadcap accreditation. Its core technology stack centers on precision temperature measurement instruments, reference standards, data acquisition systems (dataloggers), and proprietary compliance documentation software for AMS2750 and CQI-9.

GTS monetizes through three integrated revenue streams: (1) Pyrometry professional services delivered from its calibration laboratory; (2) Instrumentation hardware sales including custom-manufactured thermocouples, reference instruments for SAT testing, and dataloggers; and (3) Academy training services through its wholly-owned GTS Academy subsidiary, which offers 14 specialized courses in heat treatment, welding, and brazing processes, having trained over 2,000 professionals. The company employs 11-50 staff and operates regional offices across Central Mexico, Northeast Mexico, Pacific Mexico, and the US Midwest, executing a direct enterprise sales motion with client portal access (ShareFile) for document management. Customer segments are concentrated in heat treatment service providers, aerospace manufacturers, and automotive manufacturers requiring rigorous compliance documentation and audit readiness.
