Blackmer Launches New Military West Coast Service Center

Blackmer, a reputable name in the manufacturing of rotating pumps and reciprocating compressor technologies, has recently opened a new Military West Coast Repair Center in San Diego, California. This new facility is a testament to Blackmer's commitment to enhancing support for military and marine customers situated along the Pacific Coast.

With a legacy that dates back to before World War II, Blackmer has long provided trusted support to U.S. Navy ships and military installations. The addition of the San Diego center signifies a strategic expansion that will allow for quicker, more localized assistance. Notably, this center will serve in conjunction with the existing Military East Coast Repair Center located in Virginia Beach, Virginia, together forming a resilient, bi-coastal repair network tailored specifically to meet the urgent demands of the U.S. military.

Sean Roberts, the manager of the new West Coast Repair Center, emphasized the critical nature of reliability in military operations. “Reliable performance is critical to national security and maritime operations,” he stated. With the new San Diego center, Blackmer aims to provide OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) repair capabilities and expert insights closer to the field. This approach is designed to significantly cut down on lead times and potential downtime for military operations.

The newly inaugurated Blackmer Military West Coast Repair Center offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to support maritime readiness, including:

• - Certified OEM rebuilds conducted by Blackmer-trained technicians.
• - An extensive inventory of high-demand components such as liners, rotors, and Class A repair kits.
• - Operational testing facilities that guarantee mission-specific performance standards.
• - Local training initiatives aimed at empowering military maintenance teams.
• - Streamlined lead times ranging from four to six weeks to accommodate rapid deployment needs.

This facility not only meets technical requirements but is also aligned with strict Department of Defense protocols. Roberts, who is also a retired Chief Warrant Officer of the U.S. Navy, reiterated the importance of adhering to rigorous standards. “All Blackmer repair operations utilize factory-certified parts, a non-negotiable standard when safety and compliance are paramount,” he noted.

Together, the East Coast and West Coast repair centers stand ready to serve the unique requirements and expectations of various branches of the military, including the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. The dual presence allows Blackmer to respond effectively and efficiently to the evolving needs of military operations.

Conclusion
As Blackmer continues to develop its capacity to support military and marine customers, the establishment of the San Diego facility marks a significant milestone. This expansion not only enhances operational capabilities but also reinforces Blackmer's position as a leading supplier of critical pumping and compressor technologies for the defense sector.
