At the time of its founding in 1966, 300 Below Inc indicated itself as the first cryogenic processing technology company. Now processing annually over a million pounds of steel and components, the company has developed a computer controlled processing system for reliably treating materials in a -300?F environment, and has to the ability to regulate temperatures to the 1/10th degree. The underlying premise of the firm's operations are anchored in the demonstrated findings on cryo-processing out of Louisiana Tech University that molecular rearrangement of metals in brakes and firearms double part life, reduce corrosion, reduce wear, extend maintenance intervals and (for firearms) increase accuracy by 50%.
