What Sussman Electric Boilers does

Sussman Electric Boilers, founded in 1917 by Arthur Sussman and headquartered in Towaco, New Jersey, designs and manufactures electric steam and hot water boilers for industrial, commercial, and specialized applications. The company self-describes as the largest manufacturer of electric steam boilers in the world, with marquee reference customers including hospital operating rooms and the Kennedy Space Center. Its product portfolio spans eight core lines (EWx, EW, ES, MBA, SSB, SVS, SVW, CSG) with capacities from 3 kW miniature steam generators to 2,000 kW large-capacity boilers, plus an add-on/accessory line (progressive sequencers, water feed systems, blowdown systems, condensate return, vacuum breakers, low water cutoffs, blowdown separators) and OEM replacement parts. All units are built to ASME Boiler Codes and meet UL, CSA, and NEC standards, producing zero on-site emissions with up to 99% thermal efficiency.

Since July 25, 2022, Sussman has operated as a brand under Diversified Heat Transfer, Inc. (DHT), following DHT's acquisition of the assets and key personnel of the Sussman Electric Boiler Division of Sussman Automatic Corporation. The company sells exclusively through a US network of manufacturer representatives who handle quoting, sizing, and customer support, with no direct online sales and no public pricing. It serves a diversified set of verticals including healthcare, aerospace, CBD extraction, microbreweries, food manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, laboratories, HVAC, and humidification, monetizing primarily through one-time hardware sales of boilers and a recurring stream of OEM replacement parts to its installed base. Direct headcount is approximately 5, and the brand is integrated into DHT's broader heat transfer distribution infrastructure, including a shared rep locator and rep login portal on dhtnet.com.
