Permatech, Inc Information

PERMATECH Inc. began as an Alcoa research project in 1972 to develop precast ceramic substitutes for asbestos containing shapes in aluminum casting applications. In 1986, the facility was relocated to its current location in North Carolina, and was formally established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa. In December of 2003, Permatech Inc. was acquired by two of the former company managers. Today, PERMATECH Inc. operates as a privately-owned entity that is dedicated to perpetuating the core business values and technology that have established the organization as the recognized global leader in the manufacture of precast refractory components and the engineering of molten aluminum handling systems for aluminum cast-house applications. For nearly 40 years, Permatech has stood alone when considering capacity and ability—ranging from the smallest of parts at precision tolerances to the largest of shapes to fill a furnace. With over 18,000 molds, 600 standard operating procedures, a sophisticated manufacturing program and three locations, Permatech produces more than a million pounds of product per month to destinations around the world.
