Reciprocating Products History (1833 – 2001)
Cameron Compression Systems' reciprocating products business has an extensive and fascinating history dating back to 1833. At this time in American History, the Industrial Revolution was just coming to an end when two entrepreneurs, Charles and Elias Cooper, established a foundry in the city of Mt Vernon, Ohio. This foundry, named Cooper, became the licensed producer of Corliss Steam engines throughout the mid and late 1800’s. Stemming from the success of the Corliss Steam engine, the company ventured into the production of natural gas internal combustion engines in 1900. Twenty-nine years later, this venture led to the merger of Cooper and the Bessemer Gas Engine Company of Grove City, PA which would ultimately result in the development of the legendary Cooper-Bessemer engine.
In effort to further diversify the company’s product portfolio, Cooper purchased three compressor companies between 1960 and 1976: Ajax Engine Company, Pennsylvania Process Compressor, and White Superior. Three additional aftermarket acquisitions were made during the 1987 – 2001 time period and included the Enterprise Power Engine aftermarket business, Nickles Industrial Manufacturing and the Elliot Turbocharger Group (TSI).
Today, Cameron's Compression Systems division is headquartered in a 308,000 sq. ft. super facility at the Port Northwest industrial business park in Houston, TX. This facility houses Superior compressor manufacturing, TA-2020 centrifugal air compressor assembly, compressor repair centers and machine shops, a 100,000 square foot warehouse and distribution center, and nearly 100,000 square feet of office space that includes a comprehensive customer support call center. Cameron’s centrifugal compressor factory is still located in Buffalo, NY. In addition to these two major facilities, Cameron also has a host of other service and manufacturing facilities which are located strategically throughout the world.
