Air-powered blast equipment manufacturer serving industrial and defense contractors
Clemco manufactures specialized surface-preparation equipment—blast machines, cabinets, rooms, and reclaim systems—for industrial cleaning, deburring, and coating removal. The tech stack is heavily CAD/manufacturing-focused (Inventor, AutoCAD, Vault) paired with ERP (Infor SyteLine) and core enterprise tools, reflecting a traditional industrial-operations posture. Current hiring skews toward manufacturing and engineering roles, and internal focus on 5S lean initiatives and cell assessments suggests process-efficiency work is outpacing new product development.
Clemco Industries manufactures air-powered blasting equipment and systems for contractors and industrial facilities, from single-operator machines to large-scale installations for U.S. military and allied defense customers. Founded in 1941 and headquartered in Washington, Missouri, the company operates manufacturing and engineering centers across North America, Europe, and Asia, with total employment around 250 across all locations. The product line spans blast machines (0.5–160 cubic feet), wetblast systems, blast cabinets and rooms, dust-collection and reclaim systems, and safety accessories. Sales and engineering are organized to serve both catalog and custom-engineered applications.
Clemco's engineering teams use Inventor and AutoCAD for design, with Vault for version control and document management. These tools reflect a mature CAD-centric workflow typical of precision manufacturing.
Clemco is headquartered in Washington, Missouri, approximately one hour west of St. Louis. The company also operates manufacturing facilities and subsidiaries in Europe and Asia.
