Canfield Technologies was founded in 1844 in Newark, giving it one of the longer operating histories among active industrial material manufacturers in the US. The company has built its business around solder and flux manufacturing, serving plumbing, electronics, and stained-glass industries across nearly two centuries of continuous operation.
Canfield produces washers, preforms, anodes, bar stock, BGA spheres, and both lead-free and tin/lead solid wire and core wire solder across hundreds of different alloy formulations. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified and tests all its alloys in-house to exceed applicable national standards for purity and performance.
