About Us

Company History

On the Cutting Edge... for Over Eighty Years

Headquartered in Porter, Maine, USA, Vulcan was formed in 1927 to serve the process and industrial heating equipment markets with innovative heating solutions. Through the years we have developed many new technologies, and acquired others. Today, our organization includes divisions that provide products and services for Thermal Solutions and Flexible Circuits.

Our Thermal Solutions division is one of only a few manufacturers with a full complement of metal-sheathed heaters, temperature sensors, and temperature control products. Many of our temperature measurement products are engineered into equipment at the world's leading semiconductor companies. Other areas of sensor expertise include advanced ultra-high temperature materials applications and metallurgical processes.

Our Flexible Circuits Solutions division offers a full range of state-of-the-art products for flexible circuit interconnect needs. And we offer a full range of services to design, manufacture and implement the appropriate solution for virtually any application.

What else sets us apart from the competition? While other companies may say they have the product "suitable" for your application, we take it one step further. We will use our engineering experience, manufacturing capabilities, and resources to develop the total "engineered" solution for your process or product. In fact, better than 80% of the products we currently manufacture are custom engineered for a specific purpose.

Advanced Solutions for the Most Demanding Industries

We routinely engineer solutions for the most complex requirements, and many of our products can be applied into a variety of products or processes, while others are uniquely designed for a specific purpose. Our diverse product capabilities support a broad range of industries and applications, including:
