Extensive Experience Across Most Industries
F.S. Sperry’s extensive experience in the engineering, design and construction of most types of heat-processing equipment extends across most industries.
Since our founding in 1946, we’ve built a tremendous knowledge base about refractories and manufacturing equipment. Some of this equipment has been out of production for decades – but is still being used in plants – and we might be the only ones left who understand it.
Check out our experience by industry below, or visit our Resource Center to learn more about the volume of blueprints and schematics we have in our possession.
