Becht consolidates its leadership in innovation and engineering
For over six decades, Becht has built a reputation based on technical excellence, innovation, and the development of strategic alliances with clients in the energy industry. The company has positioned itself as a leading provider of centralized engineering services for sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemicals, industrial gases, and power generation, contributing to improved safety, reliability, and profitability of industrial operations.
More than six decades driving industrial engineering
Founded in 1964 by Charles Becht III, the organization began as a consulting firm focused on solving technical challenges for industrial clients. Over the years, it expanded its scope to become an international leader in specialized engineering solutions for the energy industry. Today, the company continues under family leadership, maintaining a vision centered on long-term relationships with clients and partners.
Becht's mission is clear: to help its clients achieve success through solutions that optimize the performance of people, equipment, and facilities. This approach has allowed the company to build trusting relationships based on tangible results and sustainable improvements.
Technological innovation for complex industrial challenges
One of Becht's distinguishing factors is its ability to develop pioneering technologies that address critical industry challenges. Among its advancements are innovative methodologies for evaluating the lifespan of coke drums, specialized techniques for analyzing time-dependent hydrogen attack damage, and advanced models for studying corrosion in high-temperature crude oils.
The company is also working on new digital solutions aimed at optimizing risk-based inspection (RBI) programs for storage tanks. These tools seek to help midstream and downstream operators plan their inspection activities more efficiently, prioritizing resources and reducing operating costs.
Another outstanding development is its infrared tomography technology for industrial ovens, considered by the company to be one of the most accurate currently available on the market.
Technical leadership in global standards and norms
Becht's technical expertise is also reflected in its active participation within leading organizations that develop codes and standards for the industry. The company holds more than 150 leadership positions on committees of ASME, API, ASTM, and other internationally recognized bodies. In addition, more than 130 professionals actively participate in standards committees, contributing to the development of best practices for the sector.
This involvement allows Becht specialists not only to apply international standards, but also to be part of their evolution, contributing knowledge that directly benefits their clients.
Corporate culture focused on customer success
Beyond technical expertise, Becht attributes much of its growth to an organizational culture based on strong values. The company promotes principles such as collaborative work under the concept of “One Team – One Dream,” a passion for results, constant innovation, perseverance, and the ability to enjoy the process while achieving ambitious goals.
According to its leadership, maintaining this culture is a strategic priority as the organization continues its international expansion. Its local presence in markets such as Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Brazil has strengthened the company's ability to understand the specific needs of each region and offer solutions tailored to its clients' particular challenges.
Global presence with a sustainable vision for the future
Becht currently brings together more than 1,000 world-class experts and provides services in over 50 countries. Its approach combines technical expertise, innovation, digital transformation, and human talent development to help organizations achieve higher levels of operational performance.
With a track record backed by technical excellence and a future-oriented vision, Becht continues to strengthen its position as a strategic partner for companies seeking to maximize the reliability, safety, and efficiency of their industrial assets.
