Weidner

What Weidner does

Weidner & Associates, Inc. is a private, family-owned industrial services and distribution company headquartered in Midvale, Utah, founded in 1959. The firm operates two divisions: a Process Equipment distribution arm that supplies valves, pumps, instrumentation, heat transfer equipment, tanks, tank cleaning systems, mixing and blending equipment, gaskets, gas analyzers, and related process components sourced from more than 50 manufacturer partners (including GEA, Burkert, GEMU, Badger Meter, Emerson Rosemount Analytical, Spirax Sarco, Alfa Laval, Seepex, Wilden, and others); and a Plant Services division, created in 2018, that delivers on-site preventive maintenance, control-top repair, equipment audits, baghouse and heat exchanger maintenance, calibration, and start-up & commissioning services for hygienic processing equipment. The company is privately held with no observed venture or growth-equity capital, and its stated employee count is 11–50.

The company's primary customers are food & beverage processors — with dairy and beverage bottling as core sub-verticals — and life sciences manufacturers. Adjacent verticals served via the Process Equipment division include water and wastewater treatment, mining and metals, oil and gas, and energy. Plant Services is differentiated by a specialist technician workforce focused exclusively on hygienic valves and OEM-specific control top repair (notably GEA), supported by proprietary inspection data showing that 71% of first-time customer inspections reveal failed seals and 9% of valves are actively causing equipment damage — positioning the maintenance offering as quantified risk mitigation against the $10M average direct cost of a food recall and the $5,600/minute cost of unplanned downtime in food and beverage processing.

Revenue is generated through two streams: hardware distribution (manufacturer-channel resale of process components) and professional services, including recurring preventive maintenance programs, on-site calibration with traceable certificates, and project-based commissioning. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market is direct, field-based enterprise sales ([email protected], 801-565-9595) with on-site service delivery scaling flexibly to customer needs nationwide. Named enterprise customers include Schreiber Foods and KraftHeinz. In 2025, Weidner divested its fire and rescue equipment subsidiary (Weidner Fire) to SeaWestern, narrowing corporate focus to hygienic equipment services and process equipment distribution.
