proven results
COOPER CASE STUDY: Our St. Rose service center completed a successful overhaul of a Cooper-Bessemer GMVR-12 engine-compressor for a customer in Florida. The overhaul included the rebuilding of power heads, pumps, art rods, piston pins, pin carriers, and compressor cylinders. Our Cooper service team was diligent in inspecting, re-qualifying, and rebuilding the unit to our OEM standards. Southeast Regional Director, Greg Penzato, stated: “Our St. Rose shop has a lot of experience rebuilding the large-bore Cooper and non-Cooper integrals. It’s a pleasure working on these great engines and satisfying the customer in the process.”
