Thermcraft was born in January of 1971, in a small warehouse space in downtown Winston Salem, NC.

Thermcraft now resides in a 70,000 square foot manufacturing and office space located just a few miles from downtown Winston Salem, where it all began. The number one priority at Thermcraft has always been customer service. We look forward to serving the thermal processing industry for another 50 years!
