New Player in the Market: TurboFlex Offers Low-Cost, Fully Custom-Shaped Etched Foil Flexible Heaters
Delivered in just days at half of the typical industry price.
BURNSVILLE, Minn., Nov. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- TurboFlex Heaters LLC announced today the opening of its new business in the flexible heater industry. In a cooperative effort with Heated Stone Products, creator of FeelsWarm® countertop heaters for warming stone surfaces in homes and businesses since 2013, TurboFlex will utilize Heated Stone Products' automated fabrication processes to produce extremely fast-turn and unusually affordable flexible heaters for concept and prototypes for all types of OEMs.
Designers, engineers, product development specialists, and NPD groups will benefit from the company's online, fully-automated ordering system, allowing the product to be delivered in just days. Alternatively, the existing supply base delivers customized heaters with customized wattage requirements and unusual shapes in weeks to months, requiring costly tooling and design services. TurboFlex's business model has been formulated to solve this important problem in the market.
"There is a high demand for prototype and small-volume customized flexible heaters with a fast turnaround time," explains Jahn Stopperan, President of TurboFlex Heaters. "Early in the design process, engineers desire functional heaters that fit their unique package so they can assess thermal performance. They don't want to wait months and don't want to pay thousands of dollars. And certainly, they don't want a long lead time on a heater to slow down their development project."
The online ordering tool walks customers through a simple process to capture the needed information and upload an image file, photograph, sketch, or print of the desired heater shape. TurboFlex requires no tooling charges, no set-up fees and no premium costs.
