RPM Services

What RPM Services does

RPM Services, Inc. is a privately held industrial mechanical equipment repair and restoration company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Iowa Colony, Texas (near Houston). The company specializes in rotating and reciprocating equipment — including pumps, compressors, centrifuges, blowers, turbines, gearboxes, diesel engines, pipelines, and loading arms — serving industrial clients across the Gulf Coast region (Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, and Oklahoma). Service delivery is split between on-site field services and a 40,000 sq ft in-house shop equipped with 30-ton lifting capacity, a Schenck rotor balance machine (17,500 lb capacity), an isolated-bed VFD test stand, lathes, mills, presses, and a climate-controlled clean room.

The company employs over 90 certified technicians across multiple disciplines (Millwrights, Machinists, Level I & III Vibration Technicians, NDE Level I & II Penetrant Testing Technicians, Laser and Optical Alignment Technicians, NCCER Certified craftsmen). Core offerings include laser alignment, field and shop balancing, vibration analysis, NDE inspection, field machining, turbomachinery overhauls, preventive maintenance programs, and centrifuge rental systems. RPM is also the exclusive authorized Aerzen USA aftermarket service and repair source for six states, providing OEM-backed component service that competitors cannot replicate. A Technical Services Group provides reverse-engineering and in-house manufacturing of critical components to extend equipment lifecycle.

RPM Services generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services (turnkey repair, overhaul, and project management contracts) and equipment rental income (centrifuge systems), distributed through a direct enterprise field-sales motion to industrial clients. No pricing is publicly disclosed; engagement is quote-based. The company does not disclose revenue, has no funding history, and operates as an independent private corporation under the leadership of Chairman/CEO Paul Martinuc alongside Executive VP Tim Bohac and Directors Tommy French and Jim Phipps.
