Thermbond Refractories

This month’s Stellar Spotlight shines on one of Stellar Materials' Strategic Partners, High Temperature Industrial Products HTIP, S. DE R.L. DE C.V., located in Apodaca, a suburb of Monterrey, Mexico.

High Temp Industrial Products Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pyrotek Incorporated, an international organization specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of high temperature equipment and materials for industrial applications, with a particular emphasis on the aluminum industry. High Temperature Industrial Products began their partnership with Stellar Materials in 2004.

HTIP helped establish Thermbond in Mexico’s aluminum market as a product that delivers value and performance to their customers. HTIP bases their success on vigorous interaction with customers to completely understand their challenges, along with the continuing education of their sales team on the proper use, development, and applications of Thermbond for the aluminum industry.

HTIP’s sales force, coupled with the unique Thermbond product line, continue to increase market share even through this down economy.

William O’Connell, Stellar Materials’ Sales Director for Mexico, Caribbean, and Latin America, works closely with HTIP to achieve maximum results in the market place. “HTIP’s unique place in the aluminium industry, coupled with the other products they represent and promote and the hands-on attitude of their sales engineers is the key to the incredible success of Thermbond in this industrial market.  Thermbond sales have seen incredible growth as a premier ‘solution oriented’ material in time-critical maintenance repairs and an overall increase in service life” says William O’Connell.

We are appreciative of the efforts and dedication that High Temp Industrial Products puts forth in presenting Thermbond solutions to their customers throughout the Mexican foundry markets.
