TransTech Group, a portfolio company of Bridge Industries, has completed the acquisition of Koch Heat Transfer’s international assets and intellectual property through its subsidiary, Metalforms LLC.
The transaction includes Koch Heat Transfer’s European assets and global rights to its proprietary BROWN FINTUBE® Products and TWISTED TUBE® Heat Exchanger Technologies.
The acquisition expands Metalforms Heat Transfer’s global footprint and strengthens its ability to serve the energy, petrochemical, and industrial process sectors with engineered thermal solutions.
Metalforms now owns all drawings, calculations, and IP for former Koch Heat Transfer brands, including BROWN FINTUBE®, TWISTED TUBE®, ALCO® Hairpin, BOS-HATTEN®, Smithco Hairpin, BasTex Hairpin, Muirhead Engineering, Koch Engineering Heat Exchangers, and Nitram Hairpins. Metalforms becomes the exclusive global source for spare parts, replacement bundles, full exchanger replacements, and new equipment across these technologies.
As part of the transition, Metalforms Heat Transfer has reestablished its North and South American channel partner network, with several former Koch Heat Transfer partners joining the team to support key petroleum, chemical, and process industry customers.
To support growth in Europe, Metalforms has launched Metalforms Italia Srl, based in Crema, Italy. The new entity combines former Koch Heat Transfer personnel with new Metalforms talent to provide continuity and expanded capabilities to European customers.
Metalforms Heat Transfer is also rebuilding its strategic partner network in Asia, the Middle East, India, and Africa to further extend its global support capabilities.
