The Manufacturer International competition, new management philosophies and the demand for higher efficiency result in a 'back to core approach' of all major compressor manufacturers. In other words, the (often) expensive engineering; the design of the support systems and the supply of equipment other than the bare compressor, do not fit the strategy of these compressor manufacturers. The Gap Between the demands of the customer to obtain a complete working compressing unit and the preference of the compressor manufacturer to supply (only) his speciality remains a considerable gap of: - The DESIGN - The ENGINEERING - The PRODUCTION - The ASSEMBLING of supportive systems of all disciplines and the TOTAL SYSTEM RESPONSIBILITY The Customer Customers prefer to avoid the need of a heavy engineering department, for basically the same reasons as compressor manufacturers. Instead purchasing a complete working system to their own standard is preferred. To achieve this, a reliable engineering consultant and packaging contractor is required, familiar with the customers needs and standards.
