Cooper Machinery Services (Cooper), a portfolio company of Arcline Investment Management, has acquired Alamo Industries Ltd. (AIL) and Alamo Turbocharger Services (ATSI and, together with AIL, Alamo). Alamo is a provider of turbocharger overhaul, repair, parts supply, and exchange services, serving customers across the oil and gas, marine, on-highway diesel, agricultural, mining, and power generation markets. The acquisition expands the presence of Cooper’s turbocharger division, Turbocharger Solutions International (TSI), in the western United States and Canada, and extends its capabilities into new applications such as marine and small-frame natural gas turbochargers.
Founded in 1978, Alamo is a turbocharger repair and supply specialist operating from facilities in the Calgary and Edmonton areas of Alberta, and in Kent, Washington. Alamo supports large, mid, and small-frame turbochargers, along with components such as wastegates, manifolds, and intercoolers. Alamo has also developed a proprietary marine turbocharger solution, purpose-built for the demands of ocean-going vessels operating in heavy seas.
TSI has served the turbocharger needs of the gas pipeline, petroleum, power generation, marine, and locomotive industries since 1972, and today operates as the original equipment manufacturer for the Cooper-Bessemer, DeLaval, and Elliott turbocharger lines from its facilities in Salina and McPherson, Kansas.
“This acquisition reflects our continued commitment to supporting our customers with mission-critical parts and services when and where they need them most by expanding our capabilities and extending our reach into new geographies,” said Cooper CEO Scott Buckhout. “Alamo’s team brings deep turbocharger expertise and a track record of serving customers well, and together we’ll be able to offer an even broader range of solutions to keep our customers’ engines and compressors running reliably.”
