Robert Keshecki, President and Chief Commercial Officer( CCO) of Inductotherm Corp., was appointed to his role last year after beginning his career at the company 20 years ago in its field service department. Under his leadership and expertise, Inductotherm is well-positioned to continue to design and manufacture world-leading, technologically advanced induction melting equipment and build further on its existing legacy. Manufacturing Today sits down with Robert to learn more about Inductotherm’ s approach to innovation and how its passion for customer satisfaction has differentiated it as a true solutions provider in this competitive market. He begins by detailing the company’ s cupola and arc furnace replacement projects, which have been instrumental in modernizing and boosting the efficiency of some of the world’ s largest furnace operations.
“ Over the last five years, there’ s been a huge fundamental shift away from the use of older technologies that existed before induction, which rely heavily on coke and lime and have a significantly higher environmental footprint,” Robert explains.“ As our technology grows and success stories spread, these types of projects are getting a lot of visibility across the melting industry as we’ re helping to reduce carbon footprint by transitioning to newer melting methods.
“ Inductotherm equipment is designed to melt more metal, faster, with exceptional energy efficiency,” he continues.“ Inherently, by choosing our equipment, you’ re becoming more sustainable – and we’ re constantly pushing to further reduce energy usage. A foundry in America has to compete against a lower-cost foundry overseas, so our equipment helps our customers to be more competitive.”
