Thermon (symbol: THR) is a global provider of industrial process heating solutions, primarily selling to other companies (B2B) rather than individuals.

According to its latest SEC filings, including its 2023 Form 10-K, Thermon explicitly states that it does not have a significant concentration of customers. This means no single customer accounted for more than 10% of its consolidated revenues in recent fiscal years. Therefore, Thermon does not identify specific "major customers" by name.

Instead, Thermon serves a diverse range of companies across several industrial end markets and customer types globally. Its customer base can be broadly categorized as:

• Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Companies: These firms are responsible for designing, building, and managing large-scale industrial projects. They integrate Thermon's heating solutions into new facilities or upgrades for their end-user clients.
• End-User Operators in various heavy industries: These are the companies that own and operate the industrial facilities where Thermon's products are used for critical process heating, temperature maintenance, and freeze protection. Key industries include:
  • Oil and Gas (Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream): Companies involved in the exploration, production, processing, and transportation of crude oil, natural gas, and refined products. Examples of major public companies in this sector include ExxonMobil (symbol: XOM), Chevron Corporation (symbol: CVX), Shell plc (symbol: SHEL), and BP p.l.c. (symbol: BP).
  • Chemical and Petrochemical: Manufacturers of chemicals, plastics, and other petrochemical products. Examples include Dow Inc. (symbol: DOW) and LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (symbol: LYB).
  • Power Generation: Utilities and independent power producers operating various types of power plants, including fossil fuel, nuclear, and renewable energy facilities. Examples include Duke Energy Corporation (symbol: DUK) and NextEra Energy, Inc. (symbol: NEE).
  • Food and Beverage: Large-scale industrial food processing and beverage production facilities requiring precise temperature control.
  • Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences: Companies involved in drug manufacturing and biopharmaceutical processes where controlled temperatures are critical.
• Distributors, Representatives, and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs): These partners sell Thermon's products to smaller end-users, for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) business, or integrate Thermon's components into their own manufactured equipment.

The public companies listed as examples above are representative of the *types* of customers Thermon serves within those industries, rather than an exhaustive list of Thermon's direct major customers, which are not individually disclosed due to its diversified customer base.

Thermon (symbol: THR) operates primarily in the industrial process heating market, with key products and services addressing several significant addressable markets globally.

Main Products and Services Addressable Markets:

• Electric Heat Tracing (EHT): The global Electric Heat Tracing (EHT) market was valued at approximately USD 2.22 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.82 billion by 2032, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.00% during the forecast period. Other estimates place the global Electric Heat Tracing market at USD 2.96 billion in 2024, projected to grow to USD 4.34 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 7.9%. Another source valued the global Electric Heat Tracing market at USD 3.3 billion in 2023 and anticipates growth to USD 6.76 billion by 2032 with an 8.3% CAGR.

• Industrial Process Heating Solutions (Equipment): The global industrial process heating equipment market demonstrates various valuations across different reports. The global Process Heating Equipment Market was valued at USD 24.6 billion in 2024 and is projected to increase to USD 37.9 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 3.99%. Another report indicates the global Industrial Process Heating System Equipment market size was valued at approximately USD 35.48 billion in 2023 and is forecast to reach USD 51.25 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.4%. The Global Industrial Heating Equipment Market was valued at USD 24.9 billion in 2024. The Global Industrial Heaters Market size was approximately USD 37.2 billion by 2023.

Emerging Growth Areas:

• New Medium-Voltage Heater Product Line: This specific market is projected to grow from USD 87 million in 2023 to USD 263 million by 2030, representing a CAGR of approximately 17%.

• Data Center Market (Heating/Cooling Solutions): While a specific addressable market size for Thermon's data center heating/cooling solutions is not explicitly provided, the overall data center market is projected to grow at a 21% CAGR. Thermon is targeting a 20-25% market share in this area.

Thermon (symbol: THR) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through several key initiatives and market trends:

1. Electrification and Decarbonization Trends: Thermon is strategically positioned to benefit from global trends in electrification, decarbonization, and increased power demand. The company is providing energy transition solutions to existing customers and expanding its environmentally friendly product offerings. This includes significant inroads into the medium voltage heater market, capitalizing on the electrification mega-trend, with new products launched in 2024 and initial orders secured. The acquisition of Vapor Power in fiscal year 2024 also expanded its product portfolio and increased its total addressable market for decarbonization and electrification opportunities.
2. Expansion into New Strategic End Markets, particularly Data Centers: Thermon is actively diversifying into strategic end markets, with a notable focus on the rapidly expanding data center market. The company has completed prototype builds for its Poseidon and Pontus Liquid Load Bank solutions and has already secured its first order for 20 units. This move is anticipated to diversify revenue sources and support future growth as demand for solutions supporting global digitalization and AI infrastructure rises. The company's COO noted a growing quote log totaling approximately $30 million in this market.
3. Strategic Acquisitions: Acquisitions play a crucial role in Thermon's growth strategy by expanding its product offerings and geographic reach. Recent acquisitions, such as Vapor Power and F.A.T.I., have already contributed to revenue growth and are expected to strengthen Thermon's market position and drive further growth.
4. Growth in Recurring Revenue (OPEX Sales): Thermon is shifting its strategic focus towards higher-margin OPEX (operational expenditure) revenue streams, which are typically more stable and predictable. In Q3 2025, OPEX sales grew by 12.6% and represented 86.2% of total revenue, up from the low 70% range a few years ago. This focus on maintenance and repair spending provides more stable cash flows and reduces cyclical exposure, enhancing profitability.
5. Strong Backlog and Project Execution: Thermon has reported a strong and increasing backlog, which indicates future revenue potential. The company's backlog increased 17% year-over-year, positioning it well for the remainder of the fiscal year. Improved order momentum and the conversion of large CapEx projects from engineering to execution early in Q2 2025 are expected to continue driving revenue.
