Ion Heat was founded in July 2012. The Company is a spin-off from the commercial heat treater Tratar S.A., a company in Colombia with over 35 years of experience in the heat treatment field. With four plants in two different countries and more than 5000 satisfied customers, Tratar S.A. has repeatedly been awarded for its dedication to quality and service, and recognized for its innovative mentality. In 2010, Ion Heat launched its first GlowTech plasma nitriding equipment prototype which was installed at the mother company Tratar S.A., where it is still in daily use. The company presented its first international sale in 2014, and since the same year it counts with the support from two sales representatives in the US. In 2015, the company extended its sales representation to Europe and Asia.
