What Bolttech Mannings Inc does

Bolttech Mannings Inc is a US-headquartered specialty industrial services company founded in 1979 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania by Harry Knopp Sr., delivering on-site technical bolting, heat treating, field machining, hot tapping, non-destructive testing (NDT), plug and line isolation, and engineering/certification services to North American power generation, oil and gas/downstream/petrochemical, steel, mining, nuclear, natural gas transmission, and wind operators. Core technology encompasses induction, combustion, and resistance heating; on-site machining (flange facing, pipe cutting/beveling, MDM); the proprietary Extended Reach Hot Tapping System (1999, up to 5,000 PSI, 700°F, 25 ft vertical reach, 4,000+ executed projects); StreamLine™ Data Management software (PORTAL/DESKTOP/MOBILE); 53-foot Mobile Workshop Trailers with on-site calibration; and ISO-certified Engineer-to-Order (ETO) and Manufacture-to-Order (MTO) custom tooling programs manufactured at North Versailles, PA and Dover, NJ. Revenue is generated via project-based professional services, hardware sales and rentals of bolting tools and induction equipment, and one-time custom tooling orders, delivered through an enterprise field-sales motion with field technicians traveling 75%+ to customer plant sites and an international dealer network across 10 countries; the Global Tooling Services (GTS) joint venture with GE Energy is embedded inside four GE Tool Centers. The company was acquired by Taurus Industrial Group, a portfolio company of SCF Partners, in December 2022 (announced February 2023) and is no longer independently operated, though it retains the Bolttech Mannings brand and headcount of approximately 155 employees including the Red Flame Industries (~75) Canadian subsidiary payroll.
