CINCINNATI, Aug. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CECO Environmental Corp. (NasdaqGM: CECE), a leading global environmental technology company focused on critical solutions in the air pollution control (APC), energy and fluid handling and filtration segments, today announced that it has acquired substantially all of the assets of HEE Environmental Engineering ("HEE"), a leading North American designer and manufacturer of scrubbers and fans for the air pollution control market.

Founded in 1973 and based in Ontario, California, HEE is a technological leader in the supply of air pollution control scrubbers, biological scrubbers and FRP fans for chemical and odor control fume applications with approximately $10 million in annual revenue and 35 employees.

"We are proud to welcome the HEE team into the CECO family of companies and believe it is an excellent fit that will enable us to leverage our global customer base and expand their sales channels," commented Jeff Lang, CECO's Chief Executive Officer. "Global demand for fiberglass scrubbers is increasing, HEE's technology is very synergistic with our Duall Thermal Plastic Scrubbers and the two will integrate quite well to create a more comprehensive solution for our customers. This combined entity and technology portfolio will enable our customers to better meet intensifying global air pollution control requirements through a single source."
