What Psicon BV does

Psicon BV is a Dutch specialist engineering and manufacturing firm focused on the performance upgrading, modernization, and aftermarket support of rotating equipment — primarily reciprocating compressors, turbo compressors, steam turbines, expanders, and blowers — serving the power, oil & gas, and chemical industries globally from its headquarters in Zoetermeer, Netherlands. Founded in 2000 when it acquired the European compressor activities of Weatherford Oil & Gas, the company has progressively broadened its portfolio from pure reciprocating compressor module manufacturing to include turbo machinery upgrades (since 2018), proprietary magnetic filtration systems under the CYCMAG brand, capital spare parts manufacturing, and 3D scanning/reverse engineering services using ZEISS-GOM equipment. The business combines a vertically integrated in-house manufacturing capability (5-axis CNC milling up to 3100x2700x1200mm, vertical/horizontal turning, high-speed balancing up to 12,000kg) with a global field service organization offering 24/7 deployment and a strategic consultancy practice covering risk-based assessment, asset integrity, and investment due diligence for oil & gas clients.

Revenue generation is anchored on a mix of (a) capital spare parts sales — one-time transactions for cylinder assemblies, rotors, impellers, diaphragms, and Sundyne/Sunflo pump/compressor parts manufactured to OEM or improved specifications, (b) field services and training — globally deployed rotating equipment engineers for startup, troubleshooting, reverse engineering and re-rating, with 24/7 service department availability, (c) strategic consultancy on oil and gas market dynamics and asset integrity, and (d) compressor modernization and upgrading projects executed under the RECOMPRESS joint brand with ACI Services Inc. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure of price points, and contracts are negotiated per project with multi-year master agreements typical in the industrial services space. Geographic reach spans Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East, with marquee customers including Shell (FLNG Prelude cooling water system magnetic filters) and a large German urea producer (CKD CO2 compressor upgrades). The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and was acquired by U.S.-based Rotating Machinery Services (RMS) in June 2025.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Howden: Howden manufactures fans, blowers, compressors, and steam turbines, and provides aftermarket services across rotating equipment. Its product portfolio (turbocompressors, screw compressors, blowers) competes with Psicon's turbo machinery and air/gas compression modernization work.
• Atlas Copco: Atlas Copco is one of the world's largest compressor and industrial tool manufacturers. While it primarily sells new compressors and OEM aftermarket, its service network competes directly with Psicon's compressor modernization and parts supply offering.
• Sundyne (Honeywell): Sundyne, a Honeywell business, manufactures high-speed centrifugal pumps and compressors. Psicon explicitly supplies Sundyne/Sunflo spare parts, positioning it as both a customer relationship and a competing OEM aftermarket provider for high-speed rotating equipment.
• Ingersoll Rand: Ingersoll Rand is a global compressor and flow control manufacturer with a major aftermarket and service business. Its reciprocating and centrifugal compressor services overlap with Psicon's modernization and parts supply offering, although at significantly larger scale.
• MAN Energy Solutions: MAN Energy Solutions manufactures large reciprocating compressors and turbo machinery for oil and gas, chemical, and power applications. Its aftermarket and modernization services overlap with Psicon's reciprocating compressor and steam turbine upgrading offerings.
• Sulzer: Sulzer is a major industrial services and rotating equipment manufacturer with global service centers for turbomachinery, pumps, and compressors. It overlaps with Psicon across reciprocating compressor and turbo machinery modernization, but operates at a much larger scale with broader industrial diversification.

Direct peers

• ACI Services: ACI Services is Psicon's RECOMPRESS joint-venture partner based in Cambridge, Ohio. ACI specializes in compressor packaging and aftermarket services, and the RECOMPRESS joint brand combines the two firms' reciprocating compressor design, packaging, and modernization capabilities.
• Rotating Machinery Services (RMS): RMS is Psicon's parent company following the June 2025 acquisition. RMS is a Bethlehem, PA-based provider of engineered solutions for rotating equipment — turbomachinery, compressors, and pumps — making it the most directly comparable peer in terms of service offering, customer base, and product category.
• Elliott Group: Elliott designs and manufactures turbomachinery (compressors, expanders, steam turbines) and provides aftermarket services. It is a close peer to Psicon's turbo machinery upgrading and capital spare parts business, particularly for process gas and petrochemical applications.

Regional players

• Solar Turbines (Caterpillar): Solar Turbines, a Caterpillar subsidiary, designs and manufactures industrial gas turbines and provides aftermarket compressor services, primarily for oil and gas and power customers. Its gas turbine and compressor services partially overlap with Psicon's turbo machinery upgrading capabilities, though Solar is much larger and more US-focused.
