Report
I've been doing business with Belilove Company-Engineers for three years now and I am impressed with their broad experience in designing custom thermal systems (electric heating elements) and vacuum feedthroughs. As a former heater and control specialist, BCE's background in designing high tech heating solutions for OEMs and R&D applications impresses me. Aside from their excellent product knowledge, I find their employees to be responsive and very helpful.
