Verantis Corporation

What Verantis Corporation does

Verantis Corporation (d/b/a Verantis Environmental Solutions Group) is a global manufacturer of custom-engineered industrial air pollution control systems, serving industrial facility operators and engineers across chemical, semiconductor, metal processing, pharmaceutical, mining, and petrochemical end-markets. Founded in 1926 as The Ceilcote Company and rebranded under the Verantis name in 2009 following ownership transitions through Air-Cure Environmental (1992) and Tanglewood Investments (2001), the company is a privately held, wholly-owned subsidiary of CECO Environmental (Nasdaq: CECO). Verantis operates from Middleburg Heights, Ohio (corporate headquarters), with a manufacturing plant in LaGrange, Ohio, and regional offices in Shanghai, Singapore, and Pune, India.

The company's product portfolio spans five technology platforms: industrial scrubbers (ionizing wet, packed bed, venturi, fluidized bed, dry, emergency, sieve tray, factory assembled, and pilot units); tower internals including the patented Tellerette toroidal helix packing and mist eliminators; industrial fans engineered in fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), carbon fiber, and specialty polymers; thermal incineration systems (rotary kiln, liquid waste, fume vent gas, controlled air, and heat recovery), added via the 2010 acquisition of Andersen 2000; and high-efficiency aerosol filtration systems (HEAF/CHEAF). Key proprietary technologies include the Ionizing Wet Scrubber (IWS), VerantisCF carbon fiber fans (introduced May 2017), the FanGuard intelligent monitoring system (October 2018), the FanDefender integral impeller containment housing (May 2019), and a patented scrubber cleaning technology (2022), with an additional pending patent from the Singapore office for an improved method of gas scrubbing. Verantis delivers turnkey, custom-engineered solutions for application-specific corrosion, throughput, and emissions targets, with documented equipment operating lives exceeding 35 years.

Verantis generates revenue through direct enterprise field sales of capital equipment and related professional services, sold project-by-project via engineering-led sales, an online RFQ process, and a global rep locator network. Revenue streams include hardware sales of new environmental control systems, aftermarket parts (replacement Tellerette packing, mist eliminators, impellers, bearings, motors, pumps, spray nozzles, and valves), installation and field services (PLC/DCS/SCADA integration, fan rebuilding, operator training), and retrofits and upgrades that monetize the installed base. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year contract terms. Notable commercial validation includes one major semiconductor customer operating 28 Verantis scrubbers across its facilities, multiple semiconductor and chemical contracts in the $1M-$6M+ range, and 100+ Ionizing Wet Scrubber installations worldwide.
