Since 1933
A 93-year history in
engineered process equipment
E.L.I., Inc. operates as a manufacturer's representative and distributor - a heat-transfer and rotating-machinery house serving industry for over nine decades.
Our Story
Three generations. One focus.
The original business was founded in 1933 by Walter Cooke and eventually became John B. Elstrott & Associates in the 1950's.
Finally, in 1979, E.L.I., Inc. - Elstrott-Lindberg-Irwin - was incorporated. Today the company continues as a manufacturer's representative and distributor of heat-transfer and rotating-machinery equipment, with in-house design capability for thermal ratings, turbine sizing, and more.
