Originally founded in 1974 as the Heat Tracing Division of Cooperheat-MQS, Inc., HTD Heat Trace was incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1996.

For thirty years, the company has specialized in the development of low watt density, electric heaters and heating systems that provide an economical, efficient, clean and safe alternate to steam tracing and other types of hot fluid circulation systems. Our products, engineering expertise and technology have been used worldwide on many major Power, Chemical, Petrochemical, Pulp/Paper, Mining, Research and General Industrial Projects.

As the Heat Tracing Division of Cooperheat we developed unique products and systems for specific applications. Manufacturing of these products and systems were subcontracted to various companies around the world.  After we becoming a separate corporation, we opened our own production facility and began manufacturing these products and systems ourselves to better control all facets of our business.  With reduced costs and quality improvements inherent with being the manufacturer, HTD Heat Trace has sustained significant growth and most recently, have relocated our headquarters and complete manufacturing operation to a new, larger facility in central New Jersey.

Opposing the trend of outsourcing production and sometimes sacrificing quality control for profits, our products are manufactured and assembled in the United States, to the highest standards. In doing so, HTD Heat Trace continues to expand worldwide sales by providing superior quality products and innovative solutions at globally competitive prices.
