Modean Industries, Inc. is proud to partner with Matherm to enhance its global capability and bring the Matherm know-how to Modean Industries’ markets.
Matherm, a French company, was established in 1978 in Villars Les Dombes. Mr. Roblot, a textile engineer and the founder focused on Infrared (IR) technology and the benefits it could offer in the textile market. Mr. Roblot with a staff of 4 developed a process to provide infrared pre-drying in the textile industry only.
When Sunkiss purchased Matherm in 2001, Mr. Christian Aorte became Matherm’s General Manager. Mr. Aorte created a new department devoted to painting and surface finishing. He expanded the market to include cosmetics, glass, plastics, automotive and aeronautic industries. He brought growth and success to Matherm. Mr. Aorte became chairman and 100% owner of Matherm in 2008.
The advantages of IR are numerous: Curing time is fast and since IR requires minimum ventilation, air movement does not create circulating dust or dirt. Thus it’s the prefect process for creating high quality finishes economically and efficiently. No preheating time of an oven is required, the design is compact and the process adapts well to curing Powder Coatings, Water Borne paints and many additional coatings.
Matherm’s success cannot be attributed to IR however. It is the result of the management’s continued dedication to excellence in design, attention to detail, product line development, customer service, and on-time delivery.
