Solar Atmospheres is a commercial vacuum heat treating facility headquartered in Pennsylvania. Last year, Solar decided to invest in a 22,000 square foot, 9 million dollar green field plant in Fontana to gain a share of the heat treating business for the greater Los Angeles area. That market is estimated to be over 100 million dollars per year. Solar Atmospheres’ vacuum furnaces provide heat-treating, brazing, carburizing of metal parts for manufacturers in a variety of industries.
Solar also chose to locate in the Inland Empire due to the numerous business incentives such as Southern California Edison rebates and tax-exempt and the California Industrial Development Financing Advisory Commission industrial development bonds (IDBs). The company will also be working with the County of San Bernardino Workforce Development Department in hiring new employees.
