Babcock & Wilcox is a global leader in energy and environmental technologies, serving the power and industrial markets. Founded in 1867 in Providence, Rhode Island, the company initially focused on manufacturing water-tube steam boilers, which set the standard for safe steam-generated power. It was incorporated in 1881 and has since expanded its product offerings to include seamless steel tubes, marine boilers, environmental equipment, and nuclear reactor components. The company provides a range of services in power generation and environmental technologies, including consulting for nuclear reactor recovery efforts and oxy-fuel technology for carbon capture. Babcock & Wilcox has a rich history of innovation, being the first to install utility boilers and design components for the world's first nuclear-powered submarine.
