Cooper provides spare Cooper-Bessemer engine and compressor parts that are manufactured to the latest standards and technical advancements. From our Cooper-Bessemer parts manufacturing centers in Houston, Texas, we are committed to making every Cooper-Bessemer part with our own brand of O.E.M. quality and to O.E.M. standards. We are committed to stocking and delivering Cooper-Bessemer engine and compressor parts to our customers quickly and efficiently, and that’s why we house thousands of Cooper-Bessemer part numbers at our dedicated central distribution center in Houston Texas, and in our field locations around the world..
For decades, Cooper has provided a complete line of engine field and shop services for Cooper-Bessemer integral engine-compressors and power engines. From preventative maintenance, to shop and field overhauls, to field machining, to repairs in our many global shops, our Cooper service teams are fully trained on Cooper-Bessemer engines and compressors and stand ready to assist our customers with all their service needs.
Cooper has been providing technology and engineering services for Cooper-Bessemer engine upgrades for decades. With our advanced technologies, expertise, and project management experience, we offer Cooper-Bessemer upgrades to reduce engine emissions, increase horsepower, improve efficiencies and reliability of your equipment, and reduce maintenance costs.
To further strengthen our upgraded portfolio for Cooper-Bessemer engines, Cooper acquired HOERBIGER’s Engines Services (HES) division in 2019. Cooper now offers even more upgraded technologies, including the HyperFuel System TM, HyperBalance™, HyperLogic™, ePCC™, and ePFI™. The Engine Services team has been offering engine emissions reduction and efficiency improvement upgrades, applicable to all types of Cooper-Bessemer integral engines.
The Cooper-Bessemer engine is the embodiment of the rich history of Cooper Machinery Services. In 1833, Charles and Elias Cooper started a foundry in Mt. Vernon, Ohio that produced farm equipment. A few years later, they expanded to horizontal gas compressors. The C. & G. Cooper Company eventually merged with the Bessemer Engine Company of Grove City, Pennsylvania, and formed Cooper-Bessemer Corporation in 1929.
