The ECM USA Synergy Center located in our North American headquarters in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, showcases ECM equipment and provides pre-production testing. This fully functional test lab houses capabilities to perform many thermal processes across many markets.
In this facility, customers are welcome to visit and work with ECM USA experts on their future test projects to confirm and evaluate thermal processes using actual production equipment. This effort is supported with years of ECM thermal process knowledge along with customer’s know how to produce a pre-production process. After this process is concluded, production equipment specifications can be assembled into full equipment proposal and budgets can be prepared.
