Flame Treating was founded in 1940 by three Union Carbide employees to provide flame hardening services to the machine tool and capital equipment industry in the Connecticut River Valley. The market generally ran from Bridgeport to Providence and from New Haven to Springfield, VT with occasional opportunities in Worcester and the North Shore of Massachusetts. In 1956 the company purchased the first of its induction machines and expanded the services to induction hardening.
