Hi-Tech specializes in rapid mobilization to quickly and safely repair your plant equipment during planned and unplanned outages, ensuring that plant downtime is minimized. Hi-Tech began in 1985, as a specialty refractory contractor previously known as Hi-Tech Refractory Services—based in Houston, Texas. Since that time, under private ownership of the Reintjes family, Hi-Tech has created a distinctive tradition of specialized services for industrial facilities. In 2006, Hi-Tech Refractory Services changed names to Hi-Tech Industrial Services, to more clearly represent a new, wider range of industrial services being offered—including Automated Weld Overlays. In 2015, the Weld Overlay Group was split off and became a stand-alone company known as Hi-Tech Weld Overlay Group, LLC.; while still owned by the Reintjes family. Hi-Tech’s experience in petroleum refining, petrochemical, chemical processing, pulp & paper, power utilities, and related industries has earned a reputation known for excellence. The Hi-Tech organization continues to offer our customers the “full service” approach to all of our customer’s specialty requirements. read more
