What Gaumer does

Gaumer Process (founded 1962, headquartered in Houston, TX) is a privately held designer and manufacturer of electric process heaters and engineered heating systems for industrial end markets. Its product portfolio spans low-voltage (up to 600V) and medium-voltage (4160V) electric process heaters (immersion, circulation, duct, tank, water bath, radiant), complete fuel gas conditioning skids for gas turbines, engines, and compressors, and an electric heat trace product line comprising self-regulating heating cables in three temperature classes (GHT low-temp up to 150°F, GHU medium-temp up to 250°F, GHK high-temp up to 300°F) with matching GB Series power connection, splice/tee, and end-seal accessories, plus installation accessories and temperature controls. Underlying technology is electromechanical electric heating with self-regulating polymer-based cable cores that automatically adjust power output to surrounding temperature, and control panels certified for hazardous-area service.

The company sells primarily into oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation, with secondary exposure to natural gas processing, marine, water & wastewater, mining & materials, and pulp & paper. Pricing is quote-based across custom engineered systems and standard catalog items, with multi-year service contracts; revenue mechanics rest on hardware sales complemented by engineering, procurement, project management, field service, start-up/commissioning, and 24/7 emergency support. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via a global network of regional representatives and direct sales, supported by digital presence, technical literature downloads, a Lunch & Learn education program, and quote-request functionality. FM, ATEX, and IECEx certifications are held for heat trace and electric heater systems for deployment in ordinary and classified/hazardous locations in the US, Canada, and internationally. Gaumer holds registered patents on industrial heating technologies and shows a corporate affiliation with Backer North America referenced on its website.
