What CAN-ENG Furnaces International does

CAN-ENG Furnaces International Ltd. is a privately held Canadian designer and manufacturer of custom industrial thermal processing equipment, established in 1964 and headquartered in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The company engineers continuous and batch-type heat treatment furnace systems for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, with core offerings including continuous mesh belt atmosphere furnaces (250 to 7,500+ lbs/hr, including the world's largest in operation), aluminum heat treatment systems for T4-T7 processes, custom steel plant furnaces (rotary hearth, roller hearth, walking beam, car bottom), the proprietary Mobi-Hearth® AGV-based system, and a portfolio of registered technologies — BHTS® (basketless heat treatment), PAQ™ (precision air quench), ERS™/ERS-2.0™ (energy reduction), PET™ SCADA, and atmosphere generators. CAN-ENG claims over 2,000 commissioned systems in 17 countries and serves manufacturers across automotive, aerospace and defense, fastener, high-pressure die casting, foundry, forging, steel, rail, oil and gas, mining, and commercial heat treatment.

The business operates from a 7,000 sqm / 75,000 sqf manufacturing footprint across two Niagara Falls plants (the second opened as Plant #2 in 2024) and a Burlington, Ontario engineering office opened in 2015, and is part of a family of companies that also includes TRENERGY, JTL Integrated Machine, and Evergreen Kiln Technologies. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales with custom quote-based pricing, supplemented by replacement parts, field services, furnace rebuilds and retrofits, and an in-house Technology Development Center. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, AIAG CQI-9, AMS 2750, and NADCAP compliant, holds CWB certification, and in March 2026 became a FANUC Authorized System Integrator for robotic automation.
