What vilter repair does

Vilter Repair, operating as Michael F. Roeling Inc., is a family-owned industrial and marine refrigeration services company headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, founded in 1972. The firm is a factory-authorized distributor of Emerson Vilter (since 1973) and is one of a limited set of facilities authorized for Level 1, 2, and 3 Vilter compressor remanufacturing. It also distributes parts and service for Hansen Technologies, Carrier Marine & Offshore, Dometic, and Baltimore Aircoil, positioning it as a multi-OEM authorized service provider for the installed refrigeration base across the Southeastern United States.

The company's core offering combines OEM parts distribution with compressor remanufacturing and field service for industrial and marine refrigeration systems. End customers operate in petrochemical processing, marine vessels (including military and support ships), and food and beverage cold-chain infrastructure. Technical capability was extended in 2024 with IIAR certification for natural refrigerants (ammonia and CO2), enabling work on the growing natural-refrigerant industrial segment as HFC systems are phased down.

Vilter Repair operates a direct, quote-based sales and services model. Revenue is generated through parts sales, compressor remanufacturing jobs, and contracted field-service work tied to the installed Vilter and multi-OEM base; no subscription, licensing, or transaction-volume pricing model is indicated. The business is privately held, with no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, or revenue figures, and operates with a headcount in the 1–10 range, consistent with a specialized regional services firm rather than a scaled enterprise.
