What Proceco does
PROCECO Ltd. is a privately held Canadian industrial equipment manufacturer, founded in 1975 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, that designs and builds heavy-duty aqueous parts washers and integrated cleaning systems under the TYPHOON® brand. The company serves aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment, industrial manufacturing, rail and transit, and renewable energy customers worldwide, with a cumulative installed base of more than 2,000 systems in automotive, 500+ in aerospace, and 1,000+ in heavy machinery. Its product portfolio spans batch/cabinet washers, conveyor washers, spray-immersion systems, rotary drum washers, slurry blasting equipment, hydro-deburring systems (up to 10,000 psi), automated immersion systems for surface treatment and fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI), and the Éco-Smart® mechanical vapor recompression (MVR) industrial wastewater treatment system. Each system is custom-engineered to customer specifications using an in-house process laboratory for parts cleanliness testing, and the company holds ISO 9001 certification.
PROCECO operates a direct enterprise field sales model — engaging automotive OEMs (BorgWarner, Bosch, Linamar, ZF), aerospace manufacturers and MROs (Collins Aerospace, GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, KLM, Air France), heavy equipment makers (Caterpillar, John Deere, PACCAR), rail operators (BART, BNSF, CN), and energy companies (Enbridge) through a Request a Quote / Book a Meeting contact flow. Pricing is by quotation on custom-engineered multi-year contract projects; no public pricing is available. Revenue streams include custom equipment sales, the Éco-Smart wastewater treatment line, and an aftermarket service business offering 24/7 technical support, machine audits, preventive maintenance, retrofits, training, warranty, and replacement parts — providing recurring revenue against the installed base.
The company employs between 101 and 250 people, has been operating for over 50 years, and is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity in the source data.

Proceco competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Bayougen Industrial Parts Washers: Bayougen builds heavy-duty aqueous parts washers and conveyor cleaning systems for automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial customers, overlapping with PROCECO's TYPHOON cabinet and conveyor washer line in similar North American verticals.
- Cleaning Technologies Group: CTG owns Ransohoff, Jenfab, and Blackstone Ultrasonics, all of which manufacture aqueous and ultrasonic parts washing equipment serving aerospace, automotive, and medical device OEMs. CTG's product line and customer base overlap substantially with PROCECO's heavy-duty cabinet and conveyor washer offering.
- Graymills Corporation: Graymills manufactures aqueous parts washers, immersion cleaning systems, and fluid handling equipment for industrial customers. Its product line and target customers closely resemble PROCECO's heavy-duty and conveyor parts washer offerings.
- Alliance Manufacturing: Alliance designs and builds custom aqueous and solvent parts washers, spray cabinets, and rotary drum systems for industrial manufacturers. It competes directly with PROCECO in the North American custom-engineered parts washer market.
- Ecoclean (Dürr Ecoclean): Ecoclean is one of the largest global manufacturers of industrial parts cleaning systems, offering aqueous, ultrasonic, and CO₂-based cleaning solutions for automotive, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing — directly competing with PROCECO's TYPHOON portfolio across most of its served verticals.
- Stoelting Cleaning Equipment: Stoelting manufactures aqueous, ultrasonic, and immersion parts cleaning systems used in medical, aerospace, and industrial manufacturing. Its spray-immersion and immersion washer lines overlap with PROCECO's TYPHOON-SI, TSI, and ADT offerings.
Broad incumbents
- Dürr AG: Dürr is a large German industrial machinery group whose Ecoclean division directly competes with PROCECO, but its broader automotive paint shop, environmental, and application technology portfolio gives it scale and global reach that PROCECO lacks.
- Fives Group: Fives supplies industrial machinery for metal processing, surface treatment, and cleaning applications to aerospace, automotive, and heavy-industry customers worldwide, overlapping with PROCECO's surface-treatment and aqueous cleaning capabilities as part of a much broader portfolio.
- Kärcher Industrial: Kärcher's industrial division provides parts washing, high-pressure cleaning, and surface treatment equipment for automotive and manufacturing customers. It is a much larger and globally distributed incumbent relative to PROCECO's focused niche.
- Illinois Tool Works (ITW): ITW is a diversified industrial conglomerate with multiple cleaning, finishing, and surface-treatment divisions serving automotive and industrial OEMs. It is broader and larger than PROCECO but competes in adjacent aqueous washing and surface-treatment categories.
