Valad Electric Heating Corp

What Valad Electric Heating Corp does

Valad Electric Heating Corp is a third-generation, family-owned U.S. manufacturer of industrial and commercial electric heating equipment, founded in 1940 and headquartered in Montgomery, New York, with production consolidated in a 25,000 sq. ft. facility in Tarrytown, NY. The company designs and builds a broad product line of custom heating hardware—including electric hot plates, forced-air space heaters, convection heaters, electric duct heaters, shipboard and military aircraft galley equipment, heat sealers, heating elements (tubular, finned, hermetically sealed, open coil, flexible AC/DC, mica), defrosters/de-icers, and electrically heated shears—alongside control boxes, spare parts, and in-house prototyping and simulation services. All products are 100% U.S.-made and engineered to military, Navy, marine, GSA, and industrial specifications.

The company's customer base is concentrated in U.S. Military/Defense (Army, Marine, Naval, Coast Guard, Air Force, DoD), Marine/Maritime (shipbuilders, commercial and research vessels, submarines), and general Industrial/Commercial applications, with secondary exposure to aerospace galley and food service. Named reference accounts include Bollinger Shipyard (heating equipment across all FRC / USCG-154 cutters) and Eden Labs LLC (industrial hot plates for laboratory equipment).

Valad operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales via phone and email with a North American network of independent sales representative firms covering marine territories (Louisiana, California, Washington, Canadian West Coast, Ontario) and the Midwest hot plate market (Michigan, Ohio, Indiana). Revenue is generated through quote-based, custom-specification hardware sales under multi-year contracts, with international shipping available. The firm holds no external investors, has not raised funding, and has not engaged in disclosed M&A activity, consistent with its privately held, family-operated structure.
