For 40 years, CEI Enterprises has established itself as a leading manufacturer of production equipment for the asphalt industry. Known for its high-quality asphalt heating and storage systems, CEI has expanded its product line to include complete asphalt plants and industry-leading asphalt-rubber blending systems.

Today, CEI's key products include Nomad™ and RAP King™ portable asphalt plants, continuous process asphalt-rubber blending systems, hot oil heaters, asphalt tanks, fuel storage tanks, preheaters and filtering systems. CEI is a leader in emissions control technology, offering an array of environmentally proactive products for new equipment and retrofits. Its innovative emissions control products include extreme-duty vent condensers for asphalt tanks. These vent condensers employ both a cooling system and supplemental air-cleaning device to eliminate blue smoke emissions. This technology helps producers meet the country's most demanding regulations on asphalt tank emissions.

CEI also developed a simple-to-install low NOx conversion kit for hot oil heaters. This conversion kit offers producers a simple, cost-effective way to meet increasingly stringent state and local limits on NOx emissions.

Looking ahead to continued industry trends toward warm mix asphalt, CEI designed its RAP King drum mixer to be fully compatible with the Astec Green system. This compatibility offers smaller producers access to cutting-edge technology for making warm mix.

In 2008, CEI saw approximately equal activity in international and domestic markets. International sales were largely comprised of Nomad and RAP King asphalt plants, including exports to Ecuador, Mexico and Canada. Domestically, CEI experienced growth in new markets as companies invested in bulk liquid storage facilities to offset drastic fluctuations in oil prices. For these facilities, CEI designed heating systems to maintain the temperature of millions of gallons of liquid asphalt and fuel oils. CEI saw additional growth in the energy sector, producing heating systems for the manufacture of chemicals used in oil and gas extraction and refining.
