Dresser-Rand provides parts, services, and support for all of its turbomachinery equipment bearing the Clark, Dresser-Rand, and Ingersoll-Rand nameplates.

Today’s Dresser-Rand can be traced back to the historic beginnings of two entrepreneurs – Solomon R. Dresser and Simon Ingersoll.

By the late 1930’s, both companies stood ready for the future — Dresser Industries, with its new line of Clark "angle" compressors, featuring upright power cylinders driving horizontal compressors; and Ingersoll-Rand, with a first-of-its-kind centrifugal compressor for high-pressure gas transmission service and a full line of single multistage centrifugal compressors purchased from General Electric.

Dresser and Ingersoll-Rand worked along parallel paths for a century, offering competitive equipment, developing new products, and acquiring companies that complemented their core businesses. In 1987, a joint venture was formed between the two companies, resulting in the creation of Dresser-Rand.

Today, Dresser-Rand is a global leader in the turbomachinery market, providing compressor and gas power turbine technology for the following primary industries: gas lift/injection, gas gathering/storage/transmission, syn-fuels, ethylene, fertilizer, refineries and chemical production.
