Nooter/Eriksen

What Nooter/Eriksen does

Nooter/Eriksen designs and manufactures thermal equipment and provides specialty construction services for the global energy and industrial infrastructure sectors. The company's core products include heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), fired boilers, biomass and waste-to-energy boilers, enhanced oil recovery steam generators, LLTE economizers, and concentrated solar power receivers — all custom-engineered thermal solutions for power generation, oil and gas, petrochemical, and refining applications. Through its NEXT Cooling brand (operating in Switzerland, South Africa, India, Australia, and Italy) and Wyatt Field Service and Delta Bundle Extraction subsidiaries (operating under parent CIC Group), the company delivers cooling towers (mechanical draft, natural draft, hybrid, bulk air, slurry/solution types), air cooled condensers with proprietary A-frame and single tube row designs, and comprehensive aftermarket services including refurbishment, performance restoration, and CFD analysis.

The business operates through project-based, custom-quoted contracts serving enterprise industrial buyers. Revenue derives from three streams: industrial construction and maintenance services (turnkey construction, turnarounds, capital projects, specialty welding), cooling technology product sales and installation, and thermal equipment manufacturing. Distribution runs through direct enterprise field sales via a network of 10+ US offices and international regional HQs, with project sizes ranging from 10,000 to 500,000 workhours. The company holds extensive certifications including ASME S/A/U/U2/PP stamps, National Board R stamp, API 653, CTI standards, and ISO 9001/14001/45001, maintaining an industry-leading EMR of 0.49 and executing over 1 million work hours annually. Founded in 1896 and acquired by CIC Group in 2003, the company leverages 125+ years of legacy and a union-trained multi-craft workforce as core competitive assets.

Marketing relies on enterprise direct sales supported by content marketing (educational guidebooks, blog content on turnarounds, welding automation, pressure vessels), LinkedIn thought leadership, and YouTube multimedia. Geographic footprint spans the United States, Italy, Switzerland, South Africa, India, Australia, and operates licensee networks in Calgary, Istanbul, Chennai, Monterrey, and Hangzhou. Customer concentration spans power generation, petrochemical and refining, oil and gas, sustainable energy, mining and minerals processing, advanced manufacturing, life sciences, utilities, and renewable energy, providing segment diversification though exposure to capital-project-driven lumpy revenue.
