Lattner Boiler Manufacturing Co.

What Lattner Boiler Manufacturing Co. does

Lattner Boiler Manufacturing Co. (legal entity: P.M. Lattner Manufacturing Co.) is a privately held, family-controlled industrial boiler manufacturer founded in 1918 and headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The company designs and builds both fuel-fired and electric boilers for commercial and industrial customers, with a core product line spanning vertical tubeless steam boilers (1.5-50 hp), horizontal Scotch Marine firetube boilers (10-200 hp), Low-NOx emissions-compliant variants (3-50 hp), and a broad electric boiler family (6 kW to 2000 kW) including horizontal, cabinet-style, and space-saver configurations. It also supplies specialty steam room boilers, burners, condensate and feedwater systems, blowdown separators, sample coolers, water softeners, chemical feed equipment, and pre-assembled skid packages for turnkey installations. Technology is assembled from industry-standard subsystems: Power Flame and Riello burners, Honeywell/Resideo flame safeguard and pressure controls, and Culligan water treatment, rather than proprietary in-house combustion electronics. Revenue mechanics are dealer-driven: products are sold exclusively through certified representatives and dealers, with pricing provided via updated dealer price lists (most recently referenced for July 1, 2026) and quotes handled through a sales phone line and email channel. End markets are intentionally diversified across dry cleaning, health club steam rooms, food processing (including steam jacketed kettles), medical sterilization, and general industrial steam and hot water applications, all served within the United States.
