Watlow
Electric Heaters, Temperature Sensors and Controls
Watlow, founded in 1922 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, designs and manufactures electric heaters, temperature sensors and controls that are used in a variety of industries including the semiconductor capital equipment, energy, medical, foodservice and transportation sectors. Watlow benefits from a well-known brand name, engineer-to-engineer relationships with a large installed base of sophisticated customers and a global footprint (with 14 manufacturing and development facilities and sales offices across the United States, Mexico, Europe and Asia). Watlow was previously owned by three generations of the Desloge family, who retained a minority equity interest and board representation when Tinicum invested. Watlow plans to grow by investing in its people, technology and equipment, expanding in Europe and Asia and making additional acquisitions.
In 2022, Watlow acquired Eurotherm from Schneider Electric, expanding the company’s presence in Europe and product offering in sophisticated thermal controls.
