HiTemp Joins Alpha Engineered Composites
Advancing high‑temperature protection together
HiTemp is excited to announce that we are now part of Alpha Engineered Composites, the global leader in high‑temperature textiles and thermal‑management solutions. For more than 30 years, HiTemp’s silicone‑coated welding blankets, curtains and specialty fire‑protection products have protected critical industrial operations across oil & gas, mining, shipbuilding, metal fabrication, and power generation. By joining Alpha, we pair that legacy with Alpha’s extensive product portfolio, worldwide manufacturing footprint and deep materials‑engineering expertise.
What our customers can expect
- Broader product access – You’ll now have one‑stop access to Alpha’s engineered elastomers, insulation facings and custom composites alongside HiTemp’s proven R51, O51 and P51 product families.
- Global reach, local strength – Orders will still be fulfilled from our Edmonton facility, but backed by Alpha’s global distribution network.
- Unmatched technical know‑how – Combining HiTemp’s proprietary silicone‑coating technology with Alpha’s R&D and testing capabilities will deliver greater innovation in high‑temperature safety.
What stays the same
- Your contacts & support team – The entire HiTemp staff, led by General Manager Ben Gallmeyer, remains in place.
- Products, part numbers & certifications – All HiTemp SKUs, independently tested certifications, performance, protective properties & manufacturing origin are unchanged.
- Edmonton manufacturing & customer service hours – We continue to operate Monday‑Friday, 8 AM–4:30 PM (MST).
