What Revak Keene Turbomachinery does

Revak Keene Turbomachinery (RKTM) is a US Gulf Coast-based, full-service industrial turbomachinery repair, remanufacturing, and storage provider founded in 1981 by Lynn Revak in La Porte, Texas. The company services steam turbines (up to 15,000 HP), centrifugal compressors, pumps, and gearboxes across 50+ OEMs including Elliott, GE, Siemens, Dresser-Rand, Turbodyne, Worthington, Atlas Copco, and Ingersoll Rand. Its in-house manufacturing capabilities include a 120,000 sq ft facility equipped with 10–35 ton bridge cranes, CNC capacity, babbitt bearing spin casting up to 24" OD, and 100% ultrasonic testing of babbitt bonds. The company also maintains a wholly-owned subsidiary, Industrial Storage Services LLC, operating 350,000+ sq ft of climate-controlled storage across five Gulf Coast locations (La Porte, two Houston sites, Sulphur LA, Corpus Christi) — described as the largest independent industrial storage footprint in the region.

Its business model is B2B enterprise field sales serving oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, chemicals, industrial gases, steel, mining, food & beverage, and general manufacturing operators. Revenue streams include professional repair/overhaul services, parts manufacturing (bearings, labyrinth seals, impellers, blades), managed industrial storage, training (free monthly Fundamentals of Steam Turbines course with PDH/CEU credits), and a standardized product line (Series VII Lube Oil System). Pricing is quote-based with multi-year service contracts and free estimates on bearing repairs; no pricing is publicly disclosed. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (October 2022) and is listed in compliance networks including ISN RAVS Plus, Browz, DISA, and OSHA credentialing.

Since August 2023, RKTM has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fox Innovation & Technologies (FIT), led by CEO Vincent Volpe and majority owned by Bluewater. FIT targets the after-sales segment of compressor and rotating equipment markets with proprietary impeller and gas flow path "cartridge" technology, using RKTM as its strategic 120,000 sq ft manufacturing base in La Porte and providing RKTM with access to FIT's global service network for international expansion.
