With an Expanite License Solution (ELS), we challenge you to find a more sustainable way to surface harden or heat treat your stainless steel or titanium parts. With the Expanite ELS solution, you get your own treatment center right next to or inside your production facility. Our unique digital process and quality management platform ensure you get the exact same surface hardening as we offer in our own treatment centers.

By avoiding unnecessary transport of your parts, you reduce the need for a floating stock of parts. This is good for the environment, it is good for your operational flexibility, and it is good for your bottom line

In the surface hardening business, Expanite is the only company to offer you  this an in-house, on-site surface hardening solution. In fact, the history of Expanite started with the ELS Solution helping a US based customer break the dependency of having to ship components across the Atlantic for a specific hardening process.

With Expanite License Solutions ELS you can have your own surface hardening or heat treatment facility next to your production line. The ELS is a plug-and-play solution covering equipment, processes, software and onsite training.

Within the umbrella of ELS, Expanite offers two different paths depending on your business and business model. 

The equipment is typically bought directly at a furnace manufacturer, where Expanite recommends SECO WARWICK  while process knowledge, software and training is provided directly by Expanite.

Within the umbrella of ELS, Expanite offers two different paths depending on your business and business model. 

If you’re considerable supplier of components that includes surface hardening and today ship these outside your factory, you might want to consider installing furnaces and get a license to process components inhouse, and eventually market Expanite to your customers. Promoting surface hardening along your manufacturing capabilities might give you a competitive edge and new business opportunities.

The franchise option might even be relevant if you’re a commercial heat treater in a market where Expanite isn’t already active.
