KromAmericas Expands Reach by Acquiring American Flame Monitoring

KromAmericas Expands Its Business with Acquisition of American Flame Monitoring

On October 1, 2026, KromAmericas announced a significant strategic step by acquiring American Flame Monitoring (AFM), a distributor based in Pearland, Texas, renowned for its specialization in Honeywell Industrial Flame Monitoring products. This merger is not only the first acquisition for KromAmericas but also a pivotal moment that amalgamates two businesses with a common vision of enhancing product availability and customer support in the industrial combustion sector.

Since its inception in 2020, KromAmericas has focused on providing an extensive array of Kromschröder combustion and control products to clients across North America, benefiting from local stock and expert technical assistance. The company has effectively served original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), engineers, and distributors across both the U.S. and South America.

Founded in 2021, AFM embodies a complementary distribution model primarily centered around Honeywell’s products. As a North American Master Distributor, AFM caters to Honeywell authorized distributors and OEMs, providing them with product inventories, online ordering capabilities, and robust technical support. With KromAmericas now at the helm, this partnership is expected to create a comprehensive combustion and flame monitoring solution for customers, enhancing access to vital technologies.

As stated by Chris Gordon, General Manager of KromAmericas, the shared values of both companies were instrumental in making this acquisition successful. Gordon remarked, "AFM and KromAmericas have built their businesses around the same priorities of having the right products available and delivering strong customer and technical support. This acquisition presents a fruitful opportunity for our various stakeholders."

The merger brings forth an opportunity for AFM to leverage KromAmericas' extensive distribution and technical resources while continuing its legacy of serving the North American combustion market. Both companies are set to consolidate operations at the existing KromAmericas location in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is not just a relocation; the integration process will include the expansion of KromAmericas’ digital resources to feature AFM's portfolio, ensuring that existing and potential customers will have comprehensive access to a wider range of products and technical support materials.

Future implementation will see the introduction of new product information and additional resources over the coming months on the KromAmericas’ website. This growth will unify the offerings and quality assurance of both companies, increasing their collective competency in the flame monitoring industry.
