The challenge of developing a lehr occupying an existing floor space, capable of pre-heating/decorating/annealing or annealing only, turned out to be a success for the US company E W Bowman. With 40 years of activity, starting from a 1.22-metre unit that is still operating, the company now has 1,200 lehrs operating worldwide, all manufactured at its 5,500-square metre facility in Uniontown, PA, USA.
