Trac Precision Solutions, a UK-based subsidiary of PTC Industries, has secured a major contract to supply high-precision components for Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic Heater (RDH) — a pioneering clean technology designed to electrify industrial heating and significantly cut carbon emissions.

The agreement positions Trac as a key manufacturing partner in the rollout of Coolbrook’s RDH systems, which are capable of reaching temperatures of up to 1700°C. This groundbreaking capability makes the RDH particularly suited to reducing emissions in heavy industries such as steel, cement, and petrochemicals — sectors that are typically challenging to decarbonise.

Under the initial phase of the project, Trac will deliver two types of milled blades and four cast vane/blade components, with full production volumes reaching 27,000 parts annually across 100 engine units. Revenue from the partnership is projected to grow in tandem with Coolbrook’s global commercial deployment, potentially exceeding £10 million per year. A second production phase — covering three additional components — is expected to be awarded shortly.

This programme represents a major step in Trac’s evolution beyond its traditional markets in aerospace and power. It opens the door to long-term, high-volume production in the fast-growing clean industrial technology sector.

Liam Bevington, Managing Director of Trac Precision Solutions, commented “This project is a defining moment for Trac. It opens up new opportunities in clean energy and strengthens our role in delivering engineering solutions that matter. As Coolbrook scales up globally, this work has the potential to become a core part of our production portfolio.”

Joonas Rauramo, CEO of Coolbrook, said “As we transition from technology development to large-scale deployment, choosing the right manufacturing partners is essential. Trac’s precision engineering expertise and commitment to quality make them a strong fit for our industrial ambitions.”

The collaboration marks a significant step forward for Trac and the broader PTC Industries Group, opening new avenues in clean technology. By entering the industrial electrification space, Trac is leveraging its expertise to align with fast-growing global priorities and strengthen its relevance in future-ready markets.

It also positions Trac to tap into expanding global demand for RDH systems. With multi-year production potential and the ability to scale over time, the partnership secures a long-term growth pipeline and creates new opportunities for international supply.

At the same time, the initiative enhances Trac’s sustainability credentials. By supporting technologies that reduce emissions, the company not only contributes to global decarbonization but also strengthens its alignment with ESG-focused customers and stakeholders.

Sachin Agarwal, Chairman and Managing Director of PTC Industries, added “Coolbrook’s trust in Trac as a manufacturing partner reflects the strength and global ambition of the PTC Group. This partnership is aligned with our strategy to serve critical industries — from aerospace to industrial sustainability — and underlines our commitment to innovation-led growth.”

Coolbrook is an engineering and technology company dedicated to decarbonising high-emission industrial sectors such as petrochemicals, cement, and steel. Its revolutionary RotoDynamic Technology combines elements of aerospace engineering, turbomachinery, and chemical processing to replace the use of fossil fuels in industrial heating.

Coolbrook’s two core systems — the RotoDynamic Reactor (RDR) and the RotoDynamic Heater (RDH) — are designed to eliminate CO₂ emissions from processes such as olefin production and high-temperature heating. When deployed at scale, these technologies could reduce global industrial CO₂ emissions by up to 2.4 billion tonnes annually, or 30% of the total emissions from heavy industry.

Trac Precision Solutions is a wholly owned step-down subsidiary of PTC Industries Limited, a leading Indian manufacturer of high-performance metal components. Based in the UK, Trac specialises in precision machining and casting for aerospace, defence, and power generation applications. With deep expertise in complex parts such as turbine blades and vanes, Trac supports engine programmes for leading OEMs globally.

PTC Industries, through its subsidiary Aerolloy Technologies, also manufactures titanium and superalloy castings for the aerospace sector. The Group is currently investing in a state-of-the-art Strategic Materials Technology Complex (SMTC) to expand capabilities in advanced materials and near-net-shape components for mission-critical applications.
