Retech Expands Tolling Services In Melting, Atomizing, and Casting

Aug 20,2025

Retech, a SECO/WARWICK Group company, is expanding its toll melting, atomizing, and casting services to meet increasing demand across industries such as aerospace, medical, defense and semiconductors.

Retech is best known for designing and building custom systems for other companies, but it also maintains a suite of operational equipment at its Buffalo, New York facilities. These in-house systems are now available on a tolling basis, providing partners with more timely access to high-performance metallurgical processing without the wait or capital commitment of acquiring their own equipment.

Leveraging Excess Capacity for Innovation and Production

Historically, Retech has used this in-house equipment for internal R&D, customer pilot trials, and process demonstrations. According to Earl Good, Managing Director and President of Retech, tolling was a natural next step. “When our equipment isn’t in use for internal projects, that capacity becomes a strategic resource. We’re making it available to companies that need a flexible, low-risk way to validate a new process, ramp up alloy production, stay ahead of long equipment lead times, or just supplement their own production capacity.”

By tolling, customers can maintain project momentum, meet early customer demand, secure a faster path to market, supplement capacity, or develop and produce highly specialized alloys.

Comprehensive Tolling Capabilities

Retech’s tolling capabilities cover a range of controlled atmosphere melting, powder production, and casting technologies, to deliver ultra-pure reactive and refractory alloys in ingot or powder forms.

One of Retech’s distinguishing advantages is that all equipment is built and operated at its facilities in Buffalo, NY. This localized footprint simplifies logistics and improves reliability for customers in the US and beyond.

“Having our engineering, manufacturing, and toll processing under one roof ensures tighter process control and easier communication. Customers also benefit from access to familiar, readily available support resources, things that can be harder to manage with offshore or less integrated providers,” Good explains.

The result is faster lead times, better alignment between development and production, and improved uptime due to component accessibility and serviceability.

Accelerating Product Development and Market Entry

For over 60 years, Retech has helped numerous customers across high-value industries meet aggressive schedules and technical requirements. Whether scaling up a new alloy, bridging production during equipment fabrication, or testing process feasibility, Retech delivers a proven, high-integrity solution that reduces barriers to entry.

“Our toll capabilities allow customers to move quickly, efficiently, and with confidence,” says Good. “It’s not just about melting metal; it’s about moving ideas into production.”
