Advantages

Customers trust Zeton to bring their complex process technologies to market, efficiently and cost effectively. Zeton offers distinct advantages in the design and fabrication of pilot plants, demonstration plants, small scale commercial plants and modular process plants.

  • Our engineering and manufacturing facilities offer state of the art design-build services from a single location. Zeton provides one point of contact from project inception to completion, and our streamlined approach to executing pilot plant projects improves efficiency and minimizes cost and scheduling risk for our customers. 
  • With over 23 years of experience designing and building skid modules, Zeton is the modular process plant expert. Zeton's engineers optimize each design to balance the requirements of safe operator access to equipment with efficient process layout, international shipping limitations, available footprint and capital cost.
  • Zeton offers a unique, fast-track approach for laboratory, pilot plant and demonstration plant projects. We execute detailed design, procurement and fabrication in parallel to compress the project schedule.
  • Through our proven approach, Zeton offers complete project flexibility to deliver truly customized plants.  Our customers provide requirement specifications and are fully involved in the process.  We value our customers’ input, and we modify our way of doing things to suit their needs.
  • Zeton's engineers understand that lab scale systems, pilot plants and demonstration plants are not merely scaled-down versions of commercial plants, or scaled-up versions of laboratory apparatus. We apply scale-appropriate methods of design, specification and planning through fabrication and testing.
  • Our high staff retention rate and industry-leading expertise complement our customers’ intellectual capital. From the design of modular process plants to custom fabrication techniques, we listen to customers and recommend equipment, processes and techniques that will result in a successful project.  
  • Zeton’s technicians receive regular training on safe working practices as part of our commitment to safety. Through close cooperation between our engineers and customers during the design phase, we ensure a safe working environment, both at Zeton and at our customers’ sites.
  • Zeton’s workmanship, skill and ability are renowned throughout the industry. Our customers can be confident that each plant will be designed and built strictly in accordance with Zeton’s  ISO 9001 Quality Assurance program.
  • Zeton does not own or actively develop process intellectual property. Our customers own the specific process technology used in our plants, or license the technology from others. Zeton customers are covered by non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements to protect their IP assets. Our employees are regularly briefed on IP protocol and its function both during and after project completion.
  • We have the flexibility to do work in-house, or to use a trusted network of experienced and prequalified suppliers to provide major equipment and other components.   This enables us to keep our workforce productive, retain key staff and control key pieces of the work to protect customer IP and project schedules.
  • Zeton’s culture embraces creativity and innovation.  We thrive on the implementation of innovative solutions to solve our customers’ technology development problems. We are often able to transition non-proprietary solutions from one industry to another to solve customer issues and continuously improve our design and fabrication methods. 
  • Zeton effectively serves customers worldwide through easily accessible locations in Enschede, The Netherlands, and Burlington, Canada. Each location offers multiple transportation options via most major airlines and access to multiple international airports. Customers can conveniently visit Zeton for project meetings, factory acceptance tests, site visits, to meet key staff and to inspect our state-of-the-art facilities.
  • Zeton is an employee-owned company and our employees take pride in their ownership position. As ‘owners’ in the company, Zeton employees treat each customer as their own, and work to ensure customer satisfaction on every project.
