When customers trust a vendor, they look for ways to expand that relationship. A successful partnership soon begs the question: “What else can you do for me?”

For 45 years, Heatec has been providing the answer. The Chattanooga, Tenn.-based company started in 1972 as a repairer and servicer of asphalt heaters but soon began designing and fabricating its own asphalt storage tanks. It evolved again in the 1990s when it developed a line of industrial heaters used in natural gas production, crude oil processing and chemical manufacturing. In the past 10 years, Heatec has even added a line of water heaters used in concrete production and food processing.
