Heat and Control has acquired UK-based Tek-Dry Systems Ltd. and Hunt Heat Exchangers in a move to broaden its thermal processing and heat transfer equipment offerings for the global food industry. Both companies bring decades of expertise and will support Heat and Control’s expansion into new markets and applications, including pet food.
“Tek-Dry Systems manufactures a broad range of thermal processing solutions that complement our existing range of products, allowing us to deliver even more innovative solutions to our global customers,” said Tony Caridis, president of Heat and Control Inc.
