Frank W. Schaefer, Inc (FWS)
started business as a refractory contractor in 1930, and began designing and
manufacturing industrial furnaces in 1945. In the early 1970's FWS's aluminum
furnace business grew to the place that it became necessary to form two
divisions within the company: A Refractory Sales and Service Division and an
Industrial Furnace Division. In 1998 the Industrial Furnace Division was
separated from FWS, Inc to form a new company, Schaefer Furnaces, Inc (SFI). A
combining of these two related companies took place in late 2002, forming The
Schaefer Group, Inc. Two
strong traditions are recombined with the FWS Division
providing exceptional refractory sales and service work, and the SFI Division
providing the best aluminum furnaces and molten metal delivery systems
available.
Today, no other aluminum furnace
builder has more experience than Schaefer Furnaces Division in the systems
approach to high quality aluminum delivery. The Schaefer Group, Inc. provides
turn-key service; from design, to construction and installation, to complete
technical support and maintenance.
