C-TEC AG

What C-TEC AG does

C-TEC AG is a privately held, founder-led industrial construction firm specializing in silo and bulk storage facility construction, repair, and restoration. Founded in 1995 in York, Nebraska by Greg Wurst, the company has spent 30 years focused exclusively on silo-related infrastructure for the grain, ethanol, and feed processing industries. It operates two primary service divisions: a Concrete Restoration division (silo cleaning, structural assessment, shotcrete/gunite repairs, concrete crack and spall repair, hopper repair and installation, roof coatings, and soil stabilization via foam injection) and a Mechanical Services division (millwright work, 24/7 emergency breakdown response, crane services, steel fabrication, facility expansions, ethanol and feed plant shutdown services, and material handling solutions). The company differentiates via two proprietary innovations — the Silo Corner Cleaning Whip (2017) and the Deep Foam Injection System (2018) — and holds a portfolio of industrial contractor prequalifications and industry association memberships (OSHA, ISN, Avetta, GEAPS, Growth Energy, IAOM, American Shotcrete) that function as enterprise procurement gatekeepers.

C-TEC AG generates revenue exclusively through project-based contracts with custom quote pricing following free site assessments, operating a direct field-sales model via toll-free phone (800-345-2832) and website contact forms. Services are delivered on-site at customer facilities across the United States (headquarters in York, Nebraska and a Mechanical division office in Hastings, Nebraska), Canada (via wholly-owned subsidiary CTECAG Construction ULC, established 2013), and Africa (since 2020). The company is owned and operated by the Wurst family, with Greg Wurst as CEO and Malinda Wurst as President, supported by a named team of approximately 14 professionals including a Director of Mechanical Services, Director of Operations, Controller, project managers, business office managers, field specialists, and shop staff. There is no evidence of institutional investment, outside capital, or public-market involvement.

• Structural Group / Structural Preservation Systems: Provider of structural repair, restoration, and strengthening services for industrial and infrastructure assets. Directly comparable to CTEC's silo and industrial facility restoration work, particularly concrete crack/spall repair and shotcrete applications.
• Lithko Contracting: National specialty concrete contractor providing foundations, slabs, and structural concrete for industrial and commercial customers. Comparable in scope to CTEC's concrete placement and repair services for industrial facilities.

Broad incumbents

• Quikrete Companies: Major U.S. manufacturer and supplier of packaged concrete products, repair materials, and coatings used across concrete repair applications. Adjacent incumbent serving many of the same end customers in industrial concrete repair.
• Sioux Steel Company: Manufacturer of grain bins, silos, and agricultural storage structures. Comparable to CTEC due to serving the same grain industry customers with adjacent silo-related offerings, though focused on new construction rather than repair services.
• Brock Grain Systems: Leading manufacturer of grain bins, silos, and bulk storage systems serving the same grain elevator and feed processing customer base as CTEC. Comparable due to shared end markets, though Brock focuses on new silos while CTEC focuses on repair and restoration.
