What Hayden Industrial Products does

Hayden Industrial Products is a privately held US-based designer and manufacturer of custom thermal management and heat exchange equipment for critical industrial applications. Founded in 1959/1960 and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma (with founding ties to Ventura, California), the company employs 101–250 people including more than 50 mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers, and operates manufacturing facilities in Tulsa and Claremore (Oklahoma), Bydgoszcz (Poland), and Wuxi (China). Its product portfolio centers on air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs) and includes fin-fan coolers, dry coolers, condensers, lube oil coolers, water and water/glycol coolers, hydrocarbon coolers, waste heat recovery systems, carbon capture cooling systems, renewable natural gas (RNG) cooling systems, server-side and immersion cooling for data centers, and skidded/integrated cooling solutions. Differentiated technology includes the proprietary Swirl Flow Turbulator (delivering 30–50% smaller cooler footprints), spiral wrap and plate fin geometries, and push-pull fan designs with 2x100% redundancy. The company holds an unusually broad set of pressure-vessel and quality certifications — ASME Section VIII-Div 1, 'U' Stamp, NB, R-Stamp, CRN, AS1210, NR-13, CE, ISO-9001:2015, API-614, and API-661 — that qualify it for refineries, utility power plants, and international projects.

The company serves four primary customer segments: Power Generation, Process & Petrochemical, IT Cooling / Data Centers, and Gas Turbine & Compression Services. Revenue is generated predominantly through project-based, custom-engineered one-time equipment sales, supplemented by aftermarket commissioning and technical support services. Pricing is quote-based and determined by application specifications, capacity, materials, certifications, and compliance requirements, with no standardized list pricing. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, executed through a consultative process from initial discovery through proposal, design, production, and commissioning support; the website's primary call-to-action is 'Request a consultation.' Hayden's customer base includes marquee end users such as Southern California Edison (98 MW hybrid energy reliability center achieving 80% site emissions reduction), Caterpillar genset deployments via Peterson Power, TVA-served gas turbine applications, and a global power generation provider in Western Canada. The company is currently led by President Kevin Killigrew (effective February 2026) and is privately held with no disclosed institutional or PE ownership.

Core offering

Hayden Industrial Products designs, engineers, and manufactures custom thermal management and heat exchange solutions—primarily air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs), dry coolers, hybrid cooling systems, condensers, lube oil coolers, hydrocarbon coolers, compressor coolers, waste heat recovery systems, and carbon capture cooling systems—for power generation, process and petrochemical, IT cooling/data center, and gas turbine/compression customers. All units are custom-engineered to customer specifications, supported by an in-house 50+ engineer team and manufactured in the US, Poland, and China, with commissioning and aftermarket services included.

Product overview

Hayden Industrial Products is a technology and engineering company that designs and manufactures custom thermal solutions and heat exchangers for critical industries. The product portfolio centers on air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs) across multiple product lines: Fin Fan/Air Finned Coolers serve as the foundational technology, supplemented by specialized condensers, lube oil coolers, water/glycol coolers, hydrocarbon coolers, compressor coolers, and waste heat recovery systems. For data center and IT cooling applications, Hayden offers dry coolers (EZShip, HyperCore, PowerCore series), hybrid evaporative solutions, server-side cooling (CRAH, RDHx, immersion), and integrated containerized systems. The company also provides carbon capture cooling systems for emerging energy applications. All products feature proprietary technologies like the Swirl Flow turbulator and are backed by engineering services from consultative inquiry through production and delivery.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered minor.

• Ventura Global Health ProjectminorOthersHayden's profits support the Ventura Global Health Project, a non-profit organization that helps local medical professionals provide healthcare to underserved populations worldwide. Hayden's founding partner Jim Neitz helped establish the fund. Since 2012, VGHP has granted over $1 million to medical professionals serving in clinics and field hospitals in countries including Cameroon, Chad, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Malawi, Mexico, Niger and more. This is a charitable giving program rather than a commercial business partnership.
• Peterson PowerminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerHayden teams with Peterson Power to design and supply engine/generator set cooling solutions. Worked closely with Peterson's engineers and enclosure builder to develop unique cooling solutions for Caterpillar CG170-12 engine/generator sets at California agricultural processing facility. Each engine/generator set utilizes two Hayden coolers.
