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.
