Allied Power Group's new facility opened in January 2010:
expanding operations and bringing new jobs to Houston.
Houston, Texas - February 3, 2010
Allied Power Group announces the opening of its new Houston facility, a 70,000 sq. ft. building that
centralizes the company headquarters, sales, repairs and warehousing in
one location. As a result, Allied's product line now includes
Westinghouse 501F and GE Frame 7FA+e turbines and parts and extends
repair capabilities to steam turbines and a worldwide customer base. In
addition, the expansion brings as many as 100 new jobs to the Houston
area.
Allied Power Group has invested significant time and capital into
qualifying processes to repair W501F and Frame 7FA+e combustion
turbines, including pioneering the repair of several key parts,
including W501F ring segments. At this time, no other repair vendor
(including the original equipment manufacturer) is repairing these
parts.
"With the added space and new layout at this facility, Allied will be
able to perform repairs on Westinghouse 501F and GE 7FA turbine
components more efficiently," said Alan Lovelace, P.E., Engineering
Manager. "More space also means the ability to add larger machining
equipment to handle larger components."
Now that the new Houston facility is open, Allied Power Group will close
its other locations in Houston (17,500 sq. ft.) and Coconut Creek, FL
(6,000 sq. ft.) as the leases expire.
