Acquisition Opportunity Proheat was acquired by Big Chief Inc. in January 2024, suggesting potential alignment opportunities with Big Chief’s portfolio, cross-sell of heating components, and integration into scale-focused sales motions.

Industrial Heater Focus As a long-standing distributor of band heaters, cartridge heaters, immersion heaters, thermocouples, RTDs, and temperature controls, there are clear up-sell and bundle opportunities with end-user manufacturers in manufacturing, plastics, food & beverage, and packaging sectors.

Strategic Brands Representing major brands (Watlow, Chromalox, Dalton, Omega, Ogden, Tempco) positions Proheat to leverage established manufacturer programs for promotions, extended warranties, and technical support services as value-added offerings to customers.

Financial Target With estimated revenue in the 10–25 million range and a lean employee base, there is room for growth through expanded digital sales, service contracts, and uptime-focused solutions that appeal to mid-market manufacturers seeking reliability and cost reduction.

Market Footprint Located in Kentucky with a national supplier network and an e-commerce presence, Proheat can be a gateway for regional manufacturers to access a broader catalog of heaters and controls, plus potential partnerships with other regional distributors under the Big Chief umbrella.
