What Aerex Industries does

Aerex Industries, Inc. is a Fort Pierce, Florida-based custom fabricator of water and wastewater treatment equipment, incorporated in 1991 and operating today as a wholly-owned subsidiary of NASDAQ-listed Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. The company designs and manufactures membrane filtration systems, ASME-certified pressure vessels and process tanks, cartridge filter vessels and elements, welded stainless steel piping systems, and nuclear-grade fabricated equipment from a 30,000+ square foot crane-served facility. It holds ASME Section VIII Division 1, ASME Section I, ASME NQA-1, and National Board certifications, supports NDE across visual, liquid penetrant, magnetic particle, ultrasonic, and radiographic methods, and operates a 40-foot pickle/passivation line.

The company sells under a custom, quote-based, project-driven pricing model to municipal water utilities, industrial manufacturers, and nuclear operators worldwide, functioning as a single-source OEM either directly or through general contractor partnerships on larger projects. Its offering spans nine product lines and ten service categories — design engineering, fabrication, machining, construction, field services, training, material processing, pickling/passivation, operations, and remote performance monitoring — enabling lifecycle engagement from concept through commissioning and aftermarket maintenance. The parent-subsidiary relationship with Consolidated Water provides plant operating expertise that Aerex leverages to offer performance guarantees when it both designs and delivers a plant.

Aerex has been in operation for three decades and has accumulated over 75 years of combined team experience in custom membrane and pressure vessel work. No revenue figures, headcount growth metrics, or funding rounds are disclosed in the source material; the company is privately held and reports through its public parent. The technology base is conventional industrial engineering with no documented AI/ML, software, or data-platform components.
