Zeeco, a global leader in advanced combustion and environmental solutions, has acquired Devco Process Heaters, a Tulsa-based fired-heater design and technology company.  

The move bolsters Zeeco’s presence in the US midstream oil and gas market and positions the company as a comprehensive, single-source provider of combustion solutions. 

Through the acquisition, Zeeco now offers not only combustion equipment but also installation, field service, construction, and aftermarket solutions.  

Leveraging its company-owned manufacturing facilities, Zeeco promises fast, reliable, and cost-effective delivery of complete combustion systems. The deal includes Devco Heaters’ brand, products, and expertise, with all employees—including owner Jeff Hutsell—transitioning into new roles within Zeeco. 

"The Devco acquisition marks a significant milestone for Zeeco, reinforcing our mission to serve customers to the fullest," said Darton Zink, President and CEO of Zeeco. "It expands our midstream capabilities, enabling us to deliver a complete portfolio of solutions and equipment that provide greater efficiency, reliability, and value." 

For more than two decades, Devco Heaters has specialized in direct and indirect fired heaters, thermal oxidizers, electric heater packages, and auxiliary equipment, serving industries from midstream and petrochemical to aircraft testing labs and food processing. 

"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," said Hutsell. "I have great confidence in Zeeco's leadership, people, and culture, and believe our combined strengths will deliver exceptional value for years to come."
