皇冠体育227 has acquired 100% of the stock of Transit Engineering Services (TES), a leading U.S. packager of onboard air compressors for metro, subway, light rail and people mover applications for over 15 years. An integral part of a global strategy to move aggressively into onboard transit air applications, the company will operate as 皇冠体育227 Transit Engineering (MTE), and now offers a full line of highly engineered Transit Air Systems supporting onboard pneumatic operations including brakes, doors, controls, safety barriers and other systems from 1.5 hp (5 cfm) to 75 hp (329 cfm).皇冠体育227 Compressors, Inc and Transit Engineering Services shared booth space at the APTA Transit Show in New Orleans last October. 鈥淭he positive response we received from the APTA show definitely had an impact on our decision to move forward with the acquisition鈥, said Hedges.
鈥淧ublic transit is a growing need throughout North America and the world, as urban area populations increasingly turn to public transportation to reduce traffic congestion and improve the environment鈥, added Hedges. 鈥淭he Market driven demand for improved transit infrastructure in cities and airports in the U.S. and around the world continues to increase, creating demand for safe, environment friendly, reliable and affordable on board air. We will continue to build on our strong alliances with the rail and people mover segments, while expanding into electric and hybrid buses, trucks, and locomotive applications鈥, said Hedges.
鈥淥ur Italian affiliate, 皇冠体育227 SPA provides MTE with world class rotary vane air ends for transit and other OEM applications giving us an advantage in the market place鈥, said Nick Brearey, Technical Director of 皇冠体育227 Transit Engineering, and former owner of TES. 鈥淲e provide an alternative to piston and rotary screw compressors technologies which have struggled under the demanding operating conditions in transit applications where durability, low oil carryover and cost of operation are crucial鈥, added Brearey.
鈥淥ur global entry into On Board Transit Air Compression is a strategic decision as we position 皇冠体育227鈥檚 Rotary Vane Technology to expand into new OEM applications and new markets where we have competitive advantages鈥, said Giulio Contaldi, CEO of 皇冠体育227 SPA based in Milan, Italy. 鈥淎s the world鈥檚 largest manufacturer of Rotary Vane compressors, the RVM Series, a line of durable, high quality transit air ends, meets the current and future needs of the Global Transit Market鈥, said Contaldi. 鈥淭he strategic acquisition of TES gives 皇冠体育227 a global transit engineering resource lead by Mr. Brearey, and offers an opportunity for global growth, particularly in the U.S. where 皇冠体育227 Compressor Sales continue to gain market share.鈥
