Zeeco, a global leader in advanced combustion and environmental solutions, has announced the acquisition of Devco Process Heaters, a Tulsa-based fired-heater design and technology company. The move strengthens Zeeco’s position in the United States midstream oil and gas market.
Comprehensive Solutions Provider
Through its newly expanded capabilities, Zeeco will be a comprehensive single-source provider not only of combustion equipment but also of installation, field service, construction and aftermarket solutions. Combined with Zeeco’s industry-leading, company-owned manufacturing facilities, this acquisition ensures fast, reliable and cost-effective delivery of complete combustion equipment solutions.
The acquisition included Devco Heaters’ brand, existing products and expertise. All former Devco Heaters employees, including owner Jeff Hutsell, have been integrated into new and expanded roles within Zeeco.
Strategic Milestone
Darton Zink, president and CEO of Zeeco, said: “The Devco acquisition marks a significant milestone for Zeeco, reinforcing our mission to serve customers to the fullest. It expands our midstream capabilities, enabling us to deliver a complete portfolio of solutions and equipment that provide greater efficiency, reliability and value.”
Proven Track Record
For more than 20 years, Devco Heaters has designed and manufactured direct and indirect fired heaters, thermal oxidisers, electric heater packages and auxiliary equipment. These solutions serve applications in the midstream, petrochemical, aircraft testing labs, food processing and other industries.
Jeff Hutsell said: “As Devco Heaters enters this new chapter with Zeeco, I’m excited to hand over the brand and personally join Zeeco to continue our momentum to serve clients globally. I have great confidence in Zeeco’s leadership, people and culture, and believe our combined strengths will deliver exceptional value for years to come.”
