Selas Heat Technology Company LLC Acquires Webster Engineering


Streetsboro, OH – Selas Heat Technology Company LLC (“Selas”) announces today that it has completed the purchase of Webster Engineering Manufacturing Co. LLC (“Webster”) based in Winfield, Kansas. Webster is a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of custom and semi-custom multi-fuel boiler burners for the commercial, institutional and industrial markets. The Company’s burners combine advanced control technology with proven combustion performance to provide the heat source for the transformation of water to potable hot water, hot water for heating, and steam for heating and process applications. For over three decades, Webster’s proven designs have helped customers reduce emission levels, and provided higher efficiencies for new systems as well as replacement installations. Webster’s most recent innovation, the patented Temp- A-Trim® system, senses combustion air temperature and automatically controls the fan speed to create a constant air flow mass for combustion, thereby maintaining optimum fuel/air ratios to enable maximum burner efficiency.



“Selas continues to expand its technology portfolio thereby further enhancing our World of Combustion Solutions available now to a broader customer base. Complementing Selas’ deep heritage in process heating markets (furnaces, ovens and open-firing systems), Webster’s penetration in the boiler burner market segment positions Selas closer to achieving it its strategic goal as a leading edge single source for all combustion technologies,” said David S. Bovenizer, CEO of Selas and Founder of Lionheart V entures.
