What GEO Heat Exchangers does

GEO Heat Exchangers LLC is a privately held, family-owned industrial fabricator founded in 1996 in Saint Gabriel, Louisiana, specializing in the design, fabrication, repair, and field servicing of shell-and-tube and fin-fan (air-cooled) heat exchangers for the petrochemical and process manufacturing industries. The company operates four dedicated shops — Machine, Bundle/Assembly, Repair, and a separate Fabrication Shop — totaling 55,000 square feet of facility space, and runs a wholly-owned subsidiary, GEO Field Service LLC (formed June 2002), that delivers 24/7 on-site repair, retube, cleaning, and turnaround support. GEO holds full ASME Code Shop certification with U, R, and S stamps and conforms to TEMA, ASNT, and API standards, using HTRI for thermal analysis, PVElite/CodeCalc for mechanical design, and SolidWorks for 3D modeling.

The company generates revenue through project-based fabrication orders, recurring repair and retube engagements, field service contracts, and ancillary product sales (notably tube plugs with publicly listed per-unit pricing). Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales led by an internal business development representative (Aimee Diez) targeting petrochemical and chemical processing customers, with the CEO and President personally managing key accounts. Ancillary revenue streams include coating/painting/blasting, hydrostatic and helium leak testing, PMI verification using a Niton XL3t XRF analyzer, and cleaning services such as hydro blasting and dry-ice blasting. Named customers include BASF (via the River Parish PET Plant). The business has no disclosed revenue figures, no outside investors, and operates exclusively in regional Louisiana markets.

Core offering

GEO Heat Exchangers LLC designs, fabricates, repairs, and services industrial heat exchangers (shell-and-tube, fin-fan/air-cooled, surface condensers) and pressure vessels for petrochemical and industrial customers. The company operates four in-house shops (Machine, Bundle/Assembly, Repair, and a separate Fabrication Shop) and a 24/7 field service subsidiary, providing end-to-end thermal and mechanical design, ASME code-compliant manufacturing, in-shop and on-site repair, cleaning, coating, testing, and tube plug products.

Product overview

GEO Heat Exchangers LLC operates as an industrial heat exchanger fabrication and repair company with a single unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The company provides an integrated suite of heat exchanger services organized around four operational shops: Machine, Bundle/Assembly, Repair, and a separate Fabrication Shop. Core services include Heat Exchanger Fabrication, Heat Exchanger Repair, Design Services, Field Services, and Inspection & Quality Assurance. These core offerings are supported by ancillary services including Cleaning Services, Coating/Painting/Blasting, Testing Services, and Tube Plugs. The company also operates a subsidiary, GEO Field Service LLC (established June 2002), to provide on-site 24/7 repair capabilities. The portfolio is unified by shared engineering expertise, ASME code compliance, and the same quality assurance standards across all service lines.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• RPCC / BASFcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2018In fall 2018, RPCC (River Parish Community College) / BASF requested GEO Heat Exchangers / GEO Field Services LLC to design and fabricate two Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers for the River Parish PET (Physical Equipment Training) Plant. The purpose of this joint collaboration is to assist in educating students in the operation and understanding of heat exchangers, which is vital to the petrochemical industry. GEO contributed this project as a corner-stone of a dynamic collaboration between the Industrial Complex and a Comprehensive Community College, educating a quality workforce for the future of Louisiana's river region.
• Paint Yard (Saint Gabriel, LA)minorOthersGEO maintains a relationship with a paint yard in Saint Gabriel for blast and paint services per customer specifications on new fabrication and repairs. This is an operational subcontracting relationship rather than a strategic partnership.
