It is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol CECO.

Currently (2013.12) the company owns twelve subsidiaries.[2] CECO Environmental acquired Met-Pro Corporation in August 2013.[3] The acquisition was described by industry publications as significantly expanding CECO Environmental’s scale and portfolio in industrial air pollution control markets.[4]

In September 2023, it was announced CECO Environmental had acquired the Pinellas Park, Florida-headquartered custom-engineered industrial water recycling and energy conservation company, Kemco Systems.[5]

Corporate Acquisitions

CECO has expanded its portfolio over time through acquisitions across industrial air, industrial water, and combustion and safety solutions.

In 2015, CECO acquired Dallas-based PMFG, Inc. in a deal valued at about $150 million.[6] Local business reporting later linked this acquisition period to CECO’s shift of its headquarters presence from the Cincinnati area to the Dallas region.[7]

In January 2023, CECO acquired UK-based noise control systems manufacturer Wakefield Acoustics Ltd.[8] Later in 2023, the company acquired Transcend Solutions, a Houston-based process filtration solutions firm.[9] In September 2023, World Pumps reported CECO’s acquisition of Kemco Systems, an industrial water recycling and energy conservation business headquartered in Pinellas Park, Florida.[10]

In December 2024, CECO acquired Verantis Environmental Solutions Group, which the company described in its SEC filings as an engineering services and equipment systems provider focused on exhaust air treatment for industrial and high technology manufacturing processes.[11] In early 2025, CECO completed its acquisition of Profire Energy in an all-cash transaction at $2.55 per share, described by Nasdaq as totaling approximately $125 million.[12]
