Materials Research Furnaces (MRF) is a machinery manufacturer based in Allenstown, New Hampshire. Since 1990, the company has produced high-temperature vacuum and controlled-atmosphere furnaces used for applications such as sintering, chemical vapor deposition, hot pressing, pyrolysis, physical vapor deposition, crystal growth, brazing, annealing, and arc melting, with system temperatures ranging from 500 C to 3500 C. Its products support both production environments and research and development settings, delivering precise heating and a variety of usable process volumes from compact to larger scales. The business serves customers in industries requiring specialized thermal processing equipment, including vacuum and high-temperature furnaces, but remains focused on clearly defined furnace categories and configurations rather than broad consumer markets. A recent development noted is the appointment of a new VP of Engineering in 2021, reflecting ongoing leadership updates within the company.
