Selas Heat Technology Company, LLC Turns Double Play Acquiring Two Burner Companies To Close 2012
Philadelphia, PA, January 31, 2013 – Selas Heat Technology Co. LLC (“Selas”) announces today that it has completed the purchase of Red-Ray Manufacturing Inc. (“Red-Ray”), a portfolio company of Osage Industries, effective December 20, 2012 and Ensign Ribbon Burners LLC (“ERB Ensign”), a privately owned family run business, effective January 2, 2013. Red-Ray manufactures high intensity gas fired infrared burners, premix air-gas delivery systems, including the patented Redi-Pak® system, and ignition controls. ERB Ensign manufactures ribbon burners, air-gas mixing systems, ignition and safety controls. Between the two product lines, applications served include the baking, snack, laminating, textiles, powder coating, glass, wire and metal industries.
“Within a short span of four years, Selas has completed five acquisitions of best in class product lines to expand our technology portfolio thereby further enhancing our World of Combustion Solutions. Red-Ray has unique high efficiency (fuel savings), low NOx burner systems and ERB Ensign held the first ribbon burner patent in the industry and has continued to enhance its burner technology since that time, with Tri-Zone burners a recent example. The combination of these two product lines and the existing Selas family of brands positions our company as a single source for the combustion requirements of the food processing industry,” said David S. Bovenizer, CEO of Selas Heat Technology and Founder of Lionheart Ventures.
