Amtech Systems Subsidiary Receives Repeat Orders for Controlled Atmosphere Furnaces for EV Production

TEMPE, Ariz. – Amtech Systems, a manufacturer of capital equipment for the semiconductor industry, announced that its subsidiary, BTU International, has received follow-on orders for controlled atmosphere belt furnaces. These furnaces will be used in thermal processing applications in the production of electric vehicles (EVs), including brazing and sintering for EV battery cooling and electronic controls.

Delivery of the furnaces is expected to start in the latter half of 2023 and continue into 2024, with the furnaces being produced at BTU’s factory in the USA and shipped to customers located in Asia, Europe, and North America.

According to CEO Michael Whang, the demand for controlled atmosphere belt furnaces is a sign of the transition to volume production in the EV industry. The furnaces’ ability to keep thermal processing conditions consistent and controlled while producing high volumes of product makes them ideal for use in the critical applications in the EV supply chain. Whang also noted that BTU’s existing customer base, which is concentrated in the automotive supply chain, positions the company well to take advantage of this opportunity.
