Lockwood Products

What Lockwood Products does

Lockwood Products is a US-based custom manufacturer of mechanical equipment for steam and hot-water systems, operating continuously since 1938 as a subsidiary of the John L. Underwood Company out of a 75,000 sq ft facility in Powder Springs, Georgia. The company designs and builds engineered-to-order deaerators (with proprietary two-stage mechanical deaeration), boiler feed systems, condensate return units, surge tanks, hydronics packages, industrial reverse osmosis systems under the Lockwood Filtration sub-brand, plus pumps, coils, and blowdown valves. Its control offering centers on the Alpha Control Center, a PLC platform with native MODBUS and BACnet integration that ties Lockwood equipment into customer building automation and IIoT environments. The company cites 100+ years of combined mechanical, electrical, and controls engineering experience as the basis for its custom system design capability.

Lockwood serves industrial steam operators, commercial buildings, and institutional facilities, with targeted specialty applications in cannabis cultivation and asphalt paving. Product positioning emphasizes OEM-quality custom skids, in-house engineering, and integration with modern building automation — moving the company beyond catalog component supply into integrated system sales. Distribution is direct, sales-led, and supported by an online quote generator that accepts international inquiries.

The business model is project-based custom manufacturing: each system is engineered to specification, priced via quote, and built to order at the Powder Springs facility. Revenue is driven by a mix of large custom skids and recurring OEM replacement-part demand from the installed base. There is no disclosed pricing, no subscription or recurring software revenue, and no public revenue figures; growth depends on the cadence of large industrial project wins, expansion into water treatment via the Lockwood Filtration sub-brand, and cross-sell of the Alpha Control Center into the installed base.
