The Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. (CINE) was formed in Worcester, Massachusetts in early 2002 to provide cryogenic treatment services to both industrial and recreational customers. At first, cryogenic treatment, also known as cryogenic processing and cryogenic tempering was the mainstay of CINE's business. At this stage, components from large cutting blades to brake rotors were treated at our facility.

Since 2003, we have expanded our service offerings to include cryogenic deburring and deflashing services for the removal of burrs and flash from machined and molded parts. These two particular service offerings are now the core competencies of our business. Since that time we have processed tens of thousands of part types and millions of individual parts. Over the next several years processes such as cryogenic thermal cycling, material separation and shrink fitting were added.

During the year 2006, we added dry ice blast cleaning, which is also known as CO2 is blasting to provide industrial customers a non-abrasive, cleaner method to remove contaminants from their equipment. Over the next several years, we discovered many other applications for dry ice blasting including cleaning power turbines, fire & soot damage, paper mill equipment, printing presses, remediating mold amongst others. In 2008, we became one of two companies to complete a cryogenic helium thermal cycle down to 450°F. This became another capability that we have termed cryogenic helium processing.

Presently, we are rapidly expanding in the medial device industry and have proven that our deburring and deflashing services offer a cost-effective and less invasive method to deburr and deflash when compared to traditional methods.
