WAUKESHA, WIS.-January 5, 2015-GE’s Distributed Power business (NYSE: GE) today announces that Waukesha-Pearce Industries (WPI), a long-time Waukesha gas engines distributor in the U.S., is expanding its 30-state territory to now include the 48 states in the lower United States.
Customers utilizing Waukesha equipment in the United States often operate in multiple areas across the country. This expansion provides a single distributor point of contact in the U.S. for genuine Waukesha parts and a consistent, high standard in expert aftermarket support. Comparable engine manufacturers in the U.S. often have numerous points of contact for customers with multi-state operations. Customers active throughout the U.S. will have the option of turning to a single, expert service organization for their entire domestic Waukesha fleets.
“WPI has enjoyed a 90-year history as a partner with Waukesha gas engines. We are looking forward to the expanded territory relationship and the opportunity to support new customers as well as continuing the support of our existing customer base,” said Mr. Louis Pearce III, president of Waukesha Pearce Industries.
With headquarters in Houston, Texas, Waukesha-Pearce Industries has a 90-year relationship with Waukesha products and supports end users in oil and gas, gas compression, power generation and mechanical drive applications.
With more than 20 genuine Waukesha parts and service centers around the country and a skilled team of factory-trained engine technicians, WPI is committed to provide the same high level of customer support in its new territory. This will be further enhanced through WPI’s new investments in personnel and service infrastructure and by partnering with GE-approved regional service companies to ensure immediate, local customer support in remote areas.
WPI also will provide genuine parts and service support to gas compression packagers in GE’s new Gas Compression Power Packager Program.
“WPI has been a trusted and valued distributor of Waukesha equipment for 90 years, and GE is proud to see its commitment to serving customers and aftermarket service expertise expand throughout the lower 48 U.S. states,” said Darryl Wilson, chief commercial officer of GE’s Distributed Power Business.
