C. A. Litzler Co reached a milestone in 2013 celebrating their 60th anniversary. Litzler is proud to continue as a family-owned and operated business now run by members of the third generation.

Litzler was started in 1953 by C.A Litzler with an order to design a Tire Cord Dipping Machine for Firestone Tires. Litzler continues today manufacturing custom industrial ovens, machinery and control systems for various industries such as composites, converting, textile, plastics, and more.

Since 1953, Litzler has seen many developments as the markets and industries have changed. Litzler has expanded internally and by acquisition. Quickdraft was purchased in 1978, PSC in 1997, Thermovation Engineering/Molding & Coating Technologies in 2001, Indacomp in 2005 and Foudy and WAECO in 2011. Litzler has also expanded with the addition of their offices in Shanghai, China.

Litzler looks forward to the opportunities and developments in the years to come.
