Cooper Machinery Services (Cooper) has acquired Plant Process Machine Works (PPMW), a reciprocating compressor service and engineering company. PPMW was formerly owned by Rotating Machinery Services Inc. The company delivers reciprocating compressor services, comprehensive repair, engineering, and field support solutions.
PPMW has extensive experience working on Cooper’s original equipment manufacturer (OEM) equipment, as well as a wide range of non-OEM equipment, including Dresser-Rand, Clark, Ingersoll Rand, and Worthington. Its deep technical expertise and broad service capabilities expand Cooper’s process capabilities and strengthens the company’s position in compression equipment.
“This acquisition further expands our capabilities in the reciprocating compression space and reinforces our position as the go-to partner for process and gas compression equipment,” said Scott Buckhout, chief executive officer of Cooper. “We welcome Richard King and the PPMW team to Cooper and are excited about the opportunities ahead.”
