Watlow® is a global industrial technology company that provides an array of temperature controllers, power controllers, heating technologies and temperature sensing platforms. We develop these products using our world-class engineering expertise, advanced thermal systems and manufacturing excellence.
Watlow has already provided extensive expertise in the design and control of thermal systems for the food and beverage industry. Our process heaters are suitable for a range of applications, including pasteurisation, fermentation, dairy and drying processes.
Multinational supply of thermal systems for the food industry
Watlow has grown in product capability, market experience and global reach since its establishment in 1922, and now holds more than 1,000 patents and covers 95 countries. We operate 13 manufacturing centres and seven advanced technology and development centres in North America, South America, Europe and Asia, which employ more than 4,000 team members in total.
In 2022, Watlow acquired Eurotherm®, allowing us to offer its premium products, including PID temperature controllers, recorders and data acquisition capabilities, solid state relays and power controllers, software and systems. Alongside Eurotherm, Watlow brings its experience to food processing and several other major industries, including medical, glass, clinical, analytical and life sciences.
Support for all stages of thermal system development
Watlow’s expertise in developing thermal systems has driven innovation in the foodservice equipment industry for many years. We aim to know our customers’ applications at least as well as they do, if not better.
Our team of field-based sales engineers complement our customers’ engineering teams by directly involving themselves in all stages of product development, even from early life cycle product design. Their unique approach, based on technical expertise and solutions, allows them to consistently deliver leading thermal products and solutions for companies in the foodservice equipment industry.
Services to support your company’s interests
Watlow approaches customers with a unique mindset at all stages; because of our technology and long-standing legacy in the foodservice equipment sector, we understand the thermal environment more closely than many of our competitors. We make use of these assets in all aspects of our customers’ product life cycles, offering comprehensive insights in areas such as predictive performance and product life expectancy to increase value.
Watlow is committed to never selling our clients’ spare parts to third-party providers, believing that your proprietary designs and products should not be sold to anyone else. This safeguards your aftermarket business and warranty risk, as well as your brand, guaranteeing a steady supply of high-quality OEM components.
Recognising the importance of risk mitigation to companies’ supply lines, Watlow has developed a global footprint that lines up closely with our customers’ operations. We manufacture our products in the US, Mexico, Europe and Asia, supported by three advanced technology centres and by sales offices in 16 countries. This coverage model allows us to respond to all our customers’ needs, from prototypes to full-scale launches.
