Blakeslee Equipment Company (BECO) is a manufacturer’s representative specializing in thermal process, water treatment, air, mixing, and general process equipment. We help customers understand their options and connect with manufacturers whose capabilities fit the application.
Founded in January 1958 by John R. Blakeslee, BECO began with a focus on heat exchangers, filtration equipment, and high-purity water systems. Over time, that foundation expanded to include mixing, dispersing, and compounding, serving the changing needs of chemical processing, refining, food production, utilities, and manufacturing.
