Today, Handy & Harman
is a widely diversified company; fabricating thousands of
products for a broad spectrum of industrial users. We began
our business life in 1867 as a trader of precious metals,
but soon became precious metal fabricators, refiners and processors.
Of special significance was the development of a major new
product line - brazing filler metals and fluxes for joining
metals. As early as 1905, we began supplying our customers
with small quantities of customized "silver solders"
used to join or repair silver articles. These solders gradually
found application beyond the arts industry and were increasingly
used by general industry to join all types of metals with
strong, leak-tight bonds. These materials became known as
Easy-Flo®, Sil-Fos® and Handy Flux® and have been
synonymous with brazing excellence for over 70 years.
Over the years, Handy & Harman technicians continued to
develop several groundbreaking new product families including:
the Braze™ family of alloys for cadmium-free metal joining,
Trimet®, a tri-metal clad metal strip for joining mining
and cutting tools, and Premabraze®, high purity vacuum
tube grade filler metals for electrical/electronic applications
To meet the needs of our customers, both now and in the future,
we have invested millions of dollars into our manufacturing
facilities. One example of this is our recent addition of
an arc emission spectrometer to measure trace impurities,
ensuring our customers only the highest purity materials.
This, in addition to our R&D programs, will enable us
to continue to supply the highest quality, most advanced products
in the industry and satisfy all your metal joining requirements
now, and in the future.
