DANBURY, Conn., Sept. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Preferred Utilities Manufacturing, an engineering-based manufacturer of low & ultra-low NOx burners, boiler/burner control systems, instrumentation, and fuel oil handling systems, announces today that they have completed a strategic expansion into the Central American market. The company has selected EQUIGAS|SETEC as its first Central American sales representative to support customers and end-users in Costa Rica.
Headquartered in San Jose, Costa Rica, EQUIGAS|SETEC has been in business since 1954. They are experienced in working with refineries, power and processing plants, hospitals, hotels, sugar mills, and other industrial and utility customers in the region, providing engineering expertise in custom boilers, heat transfer, steam and hot water production, and process flow control solutions.
"EQUIGAS|SETEC is an ideal partner for Preferred in Central America," said Preferred Senior Business Development Manager Dennis Garcia. "They have deep experience and understand the unique needs of industrial customers and large applications in that region. We'll be able to work with them to provide high-technology solutions and expedited response times that are critical for that customer base."
"We are incredibly excited about our expansion into Central America," added Preferred's president and CEO David Bohn. "It's a milestone for us. Expanding our footprint outside the United States is a natural progression for Preferred. We've found a great partner to help us build that business and support further expansion."
"Our vision and technical-commercial experience managing the Central American region matches the high standards that Preferred Utilities Manufacturing's products and services can deliver. We will meet the need for quality products that our customers demand in their industrial processes," said EQUIGAS|SETEC Managing Partner Estuardo Chang. "Partnering with an organization that complies with U.S. standards makes it possible for us to raise the bar on our promise to the customer to offer the best solutions."
Preferred's agreement with EQUIGAS|SETEC is now fully operational, and the company is available to serve fuel oil and combustion system customers throughout Costa Rica immediately.
