Wow! What a day. The sun was bright, the tent stood cheerfully in the back yard, the Dixie Land band was at their finest and magician, Charlie Hayden brought a buzz of excitement to FTECO's 60th anniversary open house. As they say, "you've come a long way baby!" A very long way since that day in October of 1940 when Flame Treating opened it's doors for business. Of course, before the business could open the inside of the former horse barn that served as the companies original location had to be thoroughly cleaned of the remnants of the former occupants. In those days the county was in the city and the city in the country. Originally providing flame- hardening services to the manufacturers of special equipment in the greater Hartford area, two employees began that early trek that has led to 60 years of successful localized heat-treating operations. Currently FTECO provides flame and induction heating to a wide range of manufactures throughout the northeastern US. From those early days FTECO had grown to 15,000 square feet with 16 employees. It is an ISO registered company and has adopted a wide range of automation and process control that has set it apart form most of the other companies in it's field. We are pleased to be able to entertain some 150 customers, suppliers, and business associates this day. It was our efforts and their requirements that have gotten us to this point in our business career, and it is our plan to continue its future growth.
