PTI Announces Major Expansion at Warminster, PA Facility to Meet Increased Demand for Services

Pressure Technology, Inc. (PTI), a leading provider of hot isostatic pressing services, announced that the company has recently completed a major expansion of their processing facility located in Warminster, PA. In addition to providing an increase in general production space, the expansion also included the installation of a new hot isostatic press, bringing the company’s total to eleven units. Designed to accommodate the growth of its services, the building expansion and additional processing capability will position the company to meet both current and future sales goals.

“The expansion is in direct response to our growing customer base in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions,” said David Bowles, General Manager of PTI. “Demand in both areas has been steadily increasing for the processing of parts for aerospace, industrial gas turbine and medical applications. In addition, the use of additive manufacturing techniques is starting to take hold which will further increase the demand for our hot isostatic pressing services,” he added.

The expansion has added 7,000 sq. ft. of production floor space for staging incoming customer products prior to processing and the new HIP unit, bringing the total to over 15,000 sq. ft. for the entire facility. The building expansion and additional unit will benefit PTI’s customers by providing better lead times and additional HIP capacity.

Adding to the facilities overall processing capabilities, the new unit has an overall working length of 108″ and a diameter of 30″. The new unit can achieve a maximum temperature of 2,450° F and a maximum pressure of 25,000 PSI and is designed to accommodate parts for the aerospace, biomedical, industrial, power generation and other industries.
