MARINE SPECIALTY CHANGES ITS NAME TO MARSPEC TECHNICAL PRODUCTS

(Mobile, AL) – Process, steam, and green equipment supplier, Marine Specialty, has officially changed its name to Marspec Technical Products.

“We’ve decided to change our name, as a reflection of who we’ve become as a company—a green organization dedicated to environmentally friendly, cutting edge technology and innovative problem solving products and services designed to help industrial, institutional, and commercial businesses use energy more efficiently and responsibly, resulting in significant reductions in energy costs, maintenance costs, and carbon emissions,” said Tom Kelly, president.

The employee-owned Mobile, Alabama based company was founded in 1923 as a maritime equipment supplier for vessels calling on the port of Mobile.

Over the years, the organization diversified into many different fields of work including consulting engineering, general contracting, boiler erection and air conditioning. Many of these divisions were spun off into free standing companies that exist today as successful enterprises.

Today, the company is a service-driven supplier of steam specialty and energy efficiency products and services, automated valves, and corrosion resistant piping and products. The company has created a specialized niche in the market, offering environmentally friendly, high efficiency boilers and cooling towers occupied with futuristic designs, along with advanced steam traps, thermal energy storage, energy recovery ventilators, and steam turbines to name but a few.

As Marspec Technical Products, the company is reaching out to commercial, institutional and traditional industrial customers with lines of equipment designed to help get the most out of expensive energy dollars while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Marspec has specialized knowledge of steam systems, heat exchange, and energy recovery practices, and provides the expertise to help apply these products through energy consultation services, heat recovery, and project identification assistance. Marspec is recognized nationwide for its extensive plastic lined pipe inventory, and their in-house machine shop adds value to customers by accommodating specialized requests for assembly and fabrication.

“Energy must be conserved for our nation to compete in the global economy successfully. Our local base of industrial production is in competition with facilities all over the world. Several of our chemical processing customers in the area lost the battle with lower-cost, overseas producers and were forced to close down operations. Therefore, our main focus as an organization today is to help our customers find ways to stay competitive in the world market while reducing their impact on the local environment. Our job is to keep jobs from moving elsewhere,” said Kelly.
