Casso-Solar Technologies LLC.

What Casso-Solar Technologies LLC. does

Casso-Solar Technologies LLC is a privately held US specialty industrial manufacturer, founded in 1960 and headquartered at 506 Airport Executive Park in Nanuet, New York. The company designs, engineers, and fabricates custom industrial infrared ovens, furnaces, dryers, heat-processing machinery, and glass lamination lines for industrial manufacturers and OEMs, with revenue from one-time capital equipment sales, professional services (design, engineering, installation, retrofit, custom PLC programming, technical support), and ongoing replacement-heater and spare-parts sales from its US-made installed base. Its primary end markets are glass processing and glass production (architectural, automotive, appliance, aircraft, ballistic, photovoltaic, and decorative laminated glass), with secondary applications in paint and powder finishing, textile processing, metal processing, and plastics and film.

Casso-Solar's core technology is a modular portfolio of infrared heaters spanning short, medium, and long wavelengths (Type FB, Type C+, Type FHT, V-Series, Unitube, DuoTube/Duo-Tube(TM), Short-Wavelength Unitube, Gold Unitube, Furnace Tube, FiberGas II, Gas Catalytic), combined with convective heating, conveyor systems, air control, cooling, and PLC-based recipe-driven controls. A proprietary combination infrared-and-convection architecture allows processing of both coated (low-E) and uncoated glass on a single line, with the SentryGlas Trim Table co-developed with Kuraray as a flagship specialization. A 17-inch EPDM rubber-covered nip roller system, larger than the industry standard, supports continuous lamination rates up to 30,000 sq. ft. per day, roughly 10x the throughput of vacuum bag batch systems. An in-house laboratory is used to determine feasibility and ideal wavelength for each customer's material before equipment is designed.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with a dedicated U.S. sales team, distributor network, "Get a Quote" web form, and trade show presence (GlassBuild America, GlassCon Global VE) supported by an active content-marketing and SEO program. Pricing is overwhelmingly quote-based on custom configuration, with the SentryGlas Trim Table carrying public list pricing of $18,300–$20,500. Casso-Solar holds technology integration partnerships with the three major interlayer producers (Kuraray, Solutia/SAFLEX, DuPont) and operates in five primary industrial verticals plus adjacent aerospace, construction, electrical, and pharmaceutical applications, serving a mix of mid-market and enterprise manufacturers from a single US site.
