DRESSER-RAND HAS A HISTORY OF LEADERSHIP FROM THE VERY
BEGINNINGS OF THE ENERGY INDUSTRY.
Dresser-Rand (or the “Company”) has roots that can be traced
back to the 19th century. In the late 1800s, Solomon R. Dresser
founded S.R. Dresser and Company in Bradford, Pennsylvania as a
supplier to the growing oil industry in the area. In the
same year, Clark Brothers Company was founded in Belmont, New York
as a manufacturer of sawmill and agricultural machinery, including
steam engines.
The early 20th century saw many new companies emerge and
existing companies expand to support the growing demand for energy.
As a result of
a merger, Ingersoll Rand was formed and began manufacturing
compressors in Painted Post, New York. In the early 1900s, the
Company received its first orders from the U.S. Navy for a new
technology, vertical turbines to drive forced draft fans on
destroyers. Shortly thereafter, the Ingersoll Rand
Painted Post facility supplied jackhammer drills and portable air
compressors that were used in the construction of the Mount
Rushmore national monument. Also in the 1900s, the manufacturing of
steam turbines commenced in Wellsville, New York and one year later
produced the first 250 hp turbine. By the 1930s, the Company was
manufacturing a complete line of steam turbines. Another
major acquisition at that time transitioned the Company into a
designer and manufacturer of engines and compressors for the area’s
oil and gas industry.
The years following World War II to the 1970s marked a long
period of economic growth, expansion into international markets,
and product innovation. In the 1960s, mergers and purchases led to
strong connections in the Navy and maritime markets that further
expanded the Company’s product line. Another series of business
transformations continued in the 1970s that expanded the Company’s
product line in the process industry. In the mid-1970s, the
Company shipped the world’s largest centrifugal compressor, the
Model 9B, which was capable of handling 360,000 cubic feet
of air per minute. The Company then accomplished another
first, “the highest pressure test ever,” by testing a
centrifugal compressor at 10,500 psi.
On January 1, 1987, Dresser Industries and Ingersoll Rand
formed Dresser-Rand, a joint venture created to merge the worldwide
compressor and turbo machinery products of both companies. In the
period following the joint venture, many new initiatives were
launched and significant investments were made to improve
technology and manufacturing efficiency, productivity, and
throughput.
