ChemTech

What ChemTech does

ChemTech, Inc. is a privately held, employee-owned engineering and loss assessment firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Monroe, Connecticut, with a regional office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The company is led by two partners, Gene De Vita (General Manager) and William Higgins (Manager of Operations), who handle client relationships directly, supported by a core staff of 15-20 full-time engineering professionals with 15-20 years of experience and a broader network of specialized associates. Senior staff average over 30 years of design field experience, and the team maintains Professional Engineer licensure across multiple states (CT, IN, TX, FL), with new state licenses obtainable within a week.

The firm operates two service franchises. The first is multi-disciplinary engineering and design covering civil/structural, process/mechanical, electrical, HVAC, architectural, process controls, and environmental disciplines, spanning feasibility studies, front-end design, detailed engineering, construction management, and plant start-up, with project capability up to $20M in capital cost for full service and $40M for front-end packages. The second is loss assessment, originated in 2000 for insurance adjusters and now extended into general industrial, aviation (airliners, general aviation, airport infrastructure, FOD/hard landing/lightning strike/powerplant events), and renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, bioenergy). Technical delivery is built on third-party industry-standard software (COADE CADWorx, STAAD PRO, RESA-2D, ALGOR PipePak, RELFCALC, SAFIRE, VENTCALC) rather than proprietary technology, and the firm advertises rapid mobilization within hours for catastrophic response.

ChemTech generates revenue through professional services engagements billed on fixed-price or time-and-materials arrangements, sold via direct enterprise sales and relationship-based referrals rather than a formal marketing or channel program. Customers include insurance adjusters and carriers, petrochemical and refinery facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturers, industrial and commercial building owners, aviation operators/MROs/OEMs, and renewable energy operators. The firm is closely held with all stock owned by employees, the owners remain active in day-to-day technical work, and no external institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity is disclosed. Multi-lingual capabilities and a dedicated Manager of Latin American Operations support cross-border client delivery.
