In 1968, then operating as part of OSRAM SYLVANIA, Inc., the process heat engineering team developed an innovative heating element that exceeded the industry demand for a clean, efficient, and highly controllable source of heat. The Serpentine design overcame the challenges of the manufacturing industry and ensured better heat transfers, faster and higher temperatures and longer heater element life—qualities unmatched in the industry.

​Manufactured in the USA, Tutco SureHeat air heaters are used in aerospace, automotive, industrial, electronic, food, medical, packaging, plastics, pharmaceutical, printing and numerous applications throughout the world. Tutco SureHeat understands industrial facilities are dependent upon productivity, safety, and efficiency. Every component, machine, and process impacts operational cost. In today’s industrial environments, meeting productivity goals can mean the difference between success and failure. As the need for higher temperatures has increased so has productivity demands. This is a problem for most air heaters. Reaching and maintaining temperatures quickly can result in dramatically reduced heater component life.

Tutco is the world's largest supplier of open coil heating elements.  Tutco produces over 35,000 heaters a day to meet the demands of OEM customers.  Leading the heating industry and the world in heating innovation, Tutco holds 80% of the U.S. Patents in open coil heating technology. Tutco heating components can be found in countless commercial applications, including refrigeration, HVAC, appliance, lab equipment, vending, packaging, converting, medical equipment and plastic processing.
