Simtech Process Systems

What Simtech Process Systems does

Simtech Process Systems (legal entity: Simtech Industrial Products, Inc.) is a privately held, Pennsylvania-incorporated manufacturer of engineered thermoplastic fluid and air handling systems, founded in 1983 in Atlanta and relocated to Levittown, PA (suburban Philadelphia) in 1999. The company's portfolio spans four product families: piping systems (high-purity, chemical, double-containment, dual-laminate, and abrasion-protected); valves and automation (ball, butterfly, diaphragm, check, strainer, and solenoid in manual, electric, and pneumatic configurations); controls and instrumentation (pressure relief and regulation, flow, level, and chemical injection devices); and air handling duct systems. Underlying technology centers on proprietary materials — notably AlphaPlus alpha-nucleated polypropylene — and proprietary process IP including patented ArmorTech (formerly DualTech) dual laminate tooling and the WeldTech fusion welding equipment line, all built around corrosion-resistant thermoplastics such as polypropylene, PVDF, HDPE, Halar ECTFE, and PVC.

The business operates a specification-driven, hybrid direct/channel go-to-market: engineers, architects, mechanical contractors, engineering firms, and OEMs are engaged directly by Area Sales Managers covering U.S. South Central, Southwest, Northwest, and Midwest regions, while industrial distributors handle volume resell across North America, South America, and the Middle East. Revenue derives from one-time product sales of thermoplastic components and systems, hardware sales of welding equipment, and professional services covering engineering support, custom fabrication, site training/certification, and contract manufacturing. Pricing is quote-based with stated terms of 2% 15 days, Net 30, a $100 net minimum billing charge, and tiered freight allowance minimums by product category; list prices were updated effective April 27, 2026.

The customer base is broad across 14+ verticals — pharmaceutical, biotechnology, semiconductor, chemical processing, pulp and paper, automotive, food and beverage, OEM, power/utilities, aquatics, mining, steel/metal finishing, water/wastewater treatment, life sciences, and chlor-alkali — with primary emphasis on high-purity water, severe chemical service, and corrosive fume containment applications. The company holds ISO 9001 (1991), ISO 9002 for ball valves (1996), and NSF approvals (2006, renewed 2010), and has no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or M&A history. Revenue, headcount within the 11–50 range, and detailed financials are not publicly disclosed.
