Detroit Stoker Company was founded in the late 19th century with the development of the first mechanical stoker, a device that made the use of finely-divided, slack coal feasible. Until that time, slack coal had been discarded as unusable. These early Detroit stokers also vastly improved the efficiency of coal-fired plants of the day by making it possible for a single man to manage as much steam generating capacity as five men stoking a hand-fired plant.

Today, Detroit Stoker Company is a leading supplier of stokers and related combustion equipment for the production of steam used in heating, industrial processing and electric power generation around the world. In addition to providing dependable power, Detroit Stoker has taken a leadership role in the development of environmentally responsible systems that make power generating plants good neighbors in their communities.
