Knox Western continues its streak of inking deals to strengthen its capabilities.
BGR will deliver API 618 compressor packages to serve oil and gas, hydrogen, and oxygen applications.
Previously, Knox Western relied on ICL to package compressors primarily aimed at the compressed natural gas and biogas markets.
Why the switch? According to Patrick Seagrest, president of Knox Western, BGR offered expertise in other markets in alignment with the company's strategy.
We partner with BGR Group due to their strong background and expertise in areas and markets where ICL did not traditionally package compressors, said Seagrest.
Knox Western History Knox Western is a U.S.-based engineering company specializing in the design and manufacture of lubricated and non-lubricated reciprocating gas compressors for a range of applications, primarily across the energy and mobility industries.
Founded in the early 1930s, it began its journey in compressor repair and modernization.
Building on decades of hands-on engineering expertise, Knox Western further expanded its capabilities in 2000 by designing and constructing its first CNG refueling station.
Seacrest explained that Didwania Group is led by a third-generation family of industrial entrepreneurs.
It owns and operates several companies across the energy infrastructure and rotating equipment sectors.
The group's portfolio includes manufacturers of reciprocating diaphragm and cryogenic compressors, as well as CNG and hydrogen fueling systems.
Didwaniya Group recognized the massive potential to return Knox Western to the forefront of the compressor industry.
There are a limited number of companies in the world who produce the type of compressor technology Knox Western has been making for decades.
Under the Didwania Group umbrella, Knox Western raises the company's brand recognition and opens new horizons.
