About Ipsen.Since 1948, Ipsen has been designing and manufacturing industrial atmosphere and vacuum heat-treating systems and supervisory controls systems. This advanced equipment is designed for a variety of industries, including Aerospace, Automotive, Commercial Heat Treating, Energy, Medical and Tool and Die.

Much like our founder, Harold Ipsen, we believe that innovation drives excellence. We are committed to delivering integrated heat treatment solutions for a range of applications that enable you to improve titanium medical implants, develop more efficient cars and jet engines and transform space exploration. With nearly 70 years of thermal processing experience and thousands of systems installed worldwide, no company can provide 360° support for all of your heat-treating needs better than Ipsen. Vacuum Heat Treatment Ipsen delivers proven vacuum heat-treating technology that allows you to achieve maximum flexibility and meet strict industry demands. Whether your process can benefit from increased heating and cooling control, precise case depth and uniformity or flexible quenching options, Ipsen has the heat treatment solutions for you. Ipsen’s vacuum furnaces also offer a wide range of sizes and versatility of processes, including annealing, brazing, hardening, low-pressure carburizing, solution nitriding, stress relieving and tempering. Atmosphere Heat Treatment With one of the largest installed bases of atmosphere heat-treating systems, Ipsen has the experience necessary to provide optimum equipment you can trust and rely on for full-scale solutions. Ipsen’s ATLAS integral quench batch system continues this tradition, combining the achievements of past atmosphere furnaces with the evolutionary innovations of the future – incredibly advanced, energy-efficient controls, ease of integration and more. Aftermarket Support Count on our responsive Aftermarket Support Team to help keep your equipment running at peak performance and minimize costly downtime by meeting your needs for furnace controls upgrades, replacement hot zones, parts, maintenance and service.

Especially when it comes to the practically relevant expertise of instructors. In short, Ipsen training offers everything in theory

and practical application for qualified advanced training for your employees. And everyone benefits from it.

Your employees. Your customers. And so of course also your company.

For whom?Engineers, technicians and heat treatment shop masters, lab assistants, metallographers and metallurgists.

For whom?Furnace operators, maintenance and servicing personnel.

Those who stay at the knowledge levels of yesterday make no headway today.

In compact 2 to 5-day seminars, em-

ployees are able to deepen their le-

vels of knowledge, get to know new

technologies and acquire additional

skills – to then work much more pro-

ductively within your company.

The events take place in our trai-

ning centre in Kleve. We will also

be glad to hold training at your

company if so required.

All courses are held by expe-rienced instructors. Generally, qualified commissioners perso-nally hold hands-on training – so attendees benefit from these workshops.
