Richard J. Abel Sr.

Founder, CEO and
Chairman of the Board

After graduating from NAIT with an engineering graphics degree in the early 1970s, Rick Sr. started out in the oilfields as a chainman laying out wellsites. He founded Ketek in 1979 with the purchase of one skid-mounted incinerator (from a company he would purchase in the early 1990s).

He is proud of the success of this family-oriented company which has grown from the original two employees to the 400+ people who safely earn their livelihood with Ketek today.
