Peter Brotherhood

What Peter Brotherhood does

Peter Brotherhood, founded in 1867 and headquartered in Peterborough, United Kingdom, designs, manufactures, installs, and services industrial steam turbine generators ranging from 75 kW to 40 MW. The company operates as part of Howden Turbo UK under Chart Industries (NYSE: GTLS), with a complementary manufacturing and engineering footprint in Frankenthal, Germany, supporting the Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch (KK&K) heritage product line. Its product portfolio spans configurable models — BASE (75–1,000 kW single-stage impulse), CORE (up to 6 MW), MONO (up to 6 MW, expandable to 24 MW with multistage condensing module), TWIN (up to 7 MW dual-casing), and TRI (up to 12 MW three-turbine integrated gear) — alongside custom-engineered units for principal applications in waste-to-energy, oil and gas (including FPSO, FLNG, and FSRU vessels), sugar processing, and industrial process/mechanical drives.

The business operates a project-based, enterprise field sales model targeting engineering and procurement teams at major industrial facilities, with quote-based pricing determined by specifications, capacity, and customization requirements. Revenue is generated through three streams: (i) hardware sales of complete turbine-generator packages including gearboxes, condensers, lubrication, and control systems; (ii) installation and commissioning services from concept development through site acceptance; and (iii) aftermarket services, including Customer Care Agreements (CCA) under a 5D support model, OEM spare parts supply, and re-engineering of obsolete components. The installed base exceeds 1,000 MW in waste-to-energy, over 500 turbines in sugar processing, and over 20,000 KK&K installations worldwide, providing a recurring aftermarket revenue anchor.

Peter Brotherhood is positioned in mature, qualification-driven industrial markets where API 611/612 compliance, ATEX certification, and decades-long installed-base reference track records drive procurement decisions. The company claims world-leader status in FPSO, FLNG, and FSRU vessel steam turbines, and serves enterprise customers across chemicals, refining, steel, food and beverage, pulp and paper, marine, and district heating segments. All operations are conducted through direct enterprise engagement under the broader Chart Industries/Howden distribution platform.
