Dowland-Bach, founded in 1975, has built a distinguished legacy spanning over five decades as a leader in control systems, process modules, and stainless steel fabrication. The company was established to meet the critical need for failsafe wellhead shutdown systems at Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay Oilfield, a challenge it met with remarkable success by producing over 7,000 wellhead control systems. Based in Anchorage, Alaska, Dowland-Bach has grown into a globally recognized provider, delivering innovative and durable solutions engineered to withstand the harshest environments. Its vertically integrated approach—nurturing skilled professionals who engineer, design, and manufacture industrial control equipment from the ground up—has solidified its reputation for quality and reliability. Today, its products serve clients worldwide, operating autonomously in remote locations and offering years of dependable service.

Dowland-Bach’s capabilities are both broad and specialized, setting industry standards in multiple areas. The company excels in control systems design, engineering, testing, startup, and 3D modeling, producing wellhead control panels and NRTL-listed industrial control panels. Its programming expertise spans PLC systems, HMI systems, and custom embedded devices, ensuring seamless automation and control. Additionally, Dowland-Bach is a frontrunner in stainless steel fabrication, with expert welders crafting tailored, long-lasting solutions from stainless steel, aluminum, and various alloys. The company’s team of mechanical, electrical, and control systems engineers delivers turnkey hydraulic and electrical wellhead control systems, blending cutting-edge technology with decades of industry experience to meet complex client demands across sectors like oil and gas.

In 2009, Dowland-Bach was acquired by Koniag, Inc., an Alaska Native-owned corporation formed in 1971 to settle aboriginal land claims, marking a pivotal chapter in its history. This acquisition, finalized after 23 months of negotiations by Koniag Development Corp., integrated Dowland-Bach into Koniag Energy & Water, a division dedicated to advancing energy and water solutions. The move aligned Dowland-Bach’s expertise with Koniag’s commitment to quality, innovation, and community benefit, enhancing its ability to serve a broader market while maintaining its high standards. As part of Koniag Energy & Water, Dowland-Bach continues to thrive, contributing to a portfolio that reflects a shared dedication to excellence and resilience.
