What Integrated Global Services does

Integrated Global Services (IGS), headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and founded in 1978, is a privately held industrial services firm specializing in mission-critical asset protection, corrosion mitigation, and thermal efficiency improvement for energy, power, and processing operators worldwide. The company employs approximately 560 people across 35 locations in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa, and operates as a portfolio company of JFLCO. IGS delivers exclusively through a direct enterprise field-sales model, executing services on-site at customer facilities during planned maintenance turnarounds using fully trained and certified in-house personnel.

The company's product platform rests on a set of proprietary technologies. HVTS (High Velocity Thermal Spray) deposits high-nobility corrosion-resistant alloys — including Inconel 622, 625, 825, and modified Hastelloy C276 — onto process vessels, boilers, towers, and pipelines as an in-situ corrosion and erosion barrier, producing a mechanical bond without heat-affected zones. Cetek applies high-emissivity ceramic coatings to fired heater tubes and refractory surfaces to maximize radiant heat transfer and reduce NOx (up to 25-30%) and CO2 (up to 15%) emissions. TubeTech uses patented robotic systems to remove fouling from fired heater convection sections, Texas Towers, and heat exchangers, while Hot-tek performs online maintenance without shutdown, SMARTGard combines drone-based boiler inspection with protective coatings, and Metalspray Pipe ID Rover applies HVTS coatings to internal pipeline surfaces. IGS holds 118 patents globally and has completed more than 4,000 HVTS projects and roughly 400 projects per year.

IGS generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts, with custom quote-based pricing tied to asset type, scope, and complexity, typically structured as multi-year framework agreements. The customer base spans oil & gas (Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, Saudi Aramco, TotalEnergies, ConocoPhillips, Equinor), power generation (Duke Energy, Vistra, Drax), chemicals (BASF, Dow, INEOS, Braskem), metals & mining (Anglo American, Glencore), cement (Cemex, Holcim), and pulp & paper (International Paper, Stora Enso). The company has pursued an active inorganic growth strategy under JFLCO ownership, completing the acquisitions of Tube Tech International (2022), the Engineered Coatings and Materials Business of Liquidmetal Industrial Solutions (2024), and Flamsprutarna AB (2026), while expanding into emissions control (SCR Solutions) and energy transition adjacencies such as carbon capture and renewable fuels.
