Descriptiontext

Chemelex is a global provider of electric thermal and sensing solutions, serving industrial, commercial, infrastructure, and residential end markets. The company designs, manufactures, and services heat tracing cables, electronic control and monitoring systems, fire-rated cables, and floor heating systems organized under four sub-brands: Raychem (core heat tracing solutions), Tracer (turnkey heat management services spanning design, installation, operation, and maintenance), Pyrotenax (fire-rated cable systems), and Nuheat (residential floor heating). Its underlying technology centers on self-regulating heat tracing cables that automatically adjust heat output based on ambient conditions, electronic thermostats and controllers (Elexant 3500i), and the SmartTrace cloud-based and on-premises monitoring platform acquired in 2026 that enables predictive maintenance and remote system management.

The business operates across four primary verticals: Energy (oil and gas, power generation, LNG, hydrogen, carbon capture), Industrial (chemical processing, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, mining, pulp and paper), Commercial Buildings (healthcare, data centers, airports, retail), and Residential (single-family floor heating and freeze protection). Revenue is generated predominantly through hardware sales of heating cables, components, and control systems, supplemented by professional services revenue from Tracer, and emerging recurring software revenue from the SmartTrace platform. Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise field sales teams serve large industrial and infrastructure projects, a CertifiedPRO network of trained installers addresses mid-market customers, and a global distributor network reaches smaller commercial and residential buyers.

Chemelex is privately held by Brookfield Asset Management, which acquired the business from nVent Electric in January 2025 for $1.7 billion. The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, operates manufacturing and sales offices across North America (USA, Canada), EMEA (Belgium, Norway, Finland, Russia), and Asia Pacific (China), and is led by CEO Dave Prystash with a full executive team including dedicated VPs for Digital/AI/Technology, Projects and Services, and R&D. Following the Brookfield carveout, management has implemented operational restructuring, AI integration in manufacturing via Algo8's Plantbrain platform, and the acquisition of EHT Group to add digital monitoring capabilities.
