CECO Environmental Corp. announced a record $135 million contract for a full emissions‑management system at a Texas‑based natural‑gas power plant that supports a data‑center expansion. The deal, the largest in the company’s history, brings advanced acoustic, thermal and emissions‑control technologies that meet or exceed stringent environmental and community standards.
The new system will enable the plant to reduce noise, heat and pollutant emissions while maintaining high power output, positioning CECO to capture a growing share of the power‑generation market amid the energy‑transition boom. The order’s size and scope underscore the company’s ability to deliver complex, high‑value solutions to data‑center operators and other industrial customers.
CECO’s 2025 bookings are now projected to exceed $1 billion, and its backlog is expected to approach or surpass $800 million. The backlog jump is dramatic when compared to the $719.6 million reported in Q3 2025 and the $540.9 million in Q4 2024, reflecting a 64% year‑over‑year increase and a 46% rise from the previous year. The record order is a key driver of this acceleration, adding a substantial, long‑term contract to the pipeline.
The company’s sales pipeline is forecast to eclipse $6 billion by the end of 2025, a level that signals robust demand across its core segments—power generation, semiconductor production, natural‑gas infrastructure, reshoring, electrification and industrial water treatment. The pipeline growth is supported by strong customer commitments and CECO’s expanding portfolio of emissions‑control solutions.
Todd Gleason, CECO’s CEO, said the record order “continues to build on our multi‑year track record of delivering record growth as our investments to sustain high‑performance results are yielding strong returns.” He added that the company’s inclusion in Newsweek’s America’s Greatest Companies 2025 list and its third consecutive year on Forbes’ America’s Most Successful Small‑Cap Companies list reflect the team’s commitment to world‑class solutions and sustainable growth. CECO is also pursuing strategic acquisitions—such as Verantis and Profire Energy—to deepen its industrial air and energy‑transition capabilities while divesting non‑core assets like its Fluid Handling business to focus on core strengths.
The Texas order exemplifies CECO’s broader strategy of leveraging its technology expertise to serve the energy‑transition and data‑center expansion markets. By delivering a comprehensive emissions‑management system that meets rigorous standards, CECO strengthens its competitive position, expands its customer base, and reinforces its trajectory of double‑digit revenue growth. The order, combined with a growing pipeline and strategic portfolio adjustments, positions CECO to capitalize on the continued shift toward cleaner, more efficient power generation and industrial operations.
