ExtractionTek

What ExtractionTek does

ExtractionTek, operating through Fluxwerx Manufacturing, is a Wheat Ridge, Colorado-based private engineering and fabrication company founded in 2011 with 11–50 employees. The company designs and builds stainless-steel process systems for solvent extraction, distillation, crystallization, and other unit operations, serving manufacturers in three primary regulated verticals: cannabis extraction & processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food & beverage production. Its technical core is in-house ASME pressure vessel fabrication backed by professional engineer peer review licensed in all 50 U.S. states, which the company positions as a compliance and quality moat for deployments in jurisdictions with stringent regulatory requirements.

The business model is engineered-to-order hardware sales combined with a recurring service annuity. Fluxwerx sells custom stainless-steel systems directly to enterprise and mid-market customers via a consultative field sales motion (email and phone outreach), with pricing not publicly disclosed. In parallel, the company maintains, services, and upgrades the installed base of three legacy equipment brands — Pinnacle Stainless, ExtractionTek Stainless, and Delta Separations — generating parts and service-contract revenue and creating switching-cost economics on the installed base. The company operates from a single U.S. headquarters (4975 Miller Street Unit B, Wheat Ridge, CO) with no disclosed subsidiaries, funding rounds, or institutional investors; ownership, leadership, and M&A history were not identifiable from the source material.
