Pipefitter/Assembler

Diablo has a unique history that started with the closing of a regional furnace maker in Northern Illinois. When they closed their doors, Machine Tool Builders, the parent company of Diablo Furnaces, decided to open a new branch of their business. So, in 2017, we began our business by re-employing the displaced workers, thus gaining a veteran team of skilled engineers and long-time heat-treating industry experts. With this foundation, we began to innovate new approaches to custom furnace design focusing on keeping costs low and working with both new and rebuilt furnace equipment. Diablo now holds an unprecedented place in the market as one of the only heat-treating solution providers in the United States able to complete custom furnace design.
