L.A. Turbine is Founded
L.A. Turbine is a privately held family-owned and operated business established in 2003 to provide aftermarket services for non-OEM turboexpanders. During this time, when turboexpanders would fail, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) – instead of equipment specialists—were called to repair the machines. The quality of service was poor and often, turboexpanders problems went unresolved, resulting in plant shutdowns and loss of revenue. LAT’s Founder John Maskaluk saw an opportunity to deliver a higher level of customer service and turboexpander expertise to customer sites and seized it.
L.A. Turbine quickly becomes recognized as a responsive, reliable and knowledgeable resources for turboexpander repair and service.

We don’t just repair the part, we get to the root cause of the problem with a turboexpander evaluation. The diagnostic service includes a comprehensive review of all components and auxiliary parts and the production of a report detailing the findings and corrective action recommendations. LAT’s FX-TURBO Team will dig deep to find the right repair solution plus ensure an isolated problem or failure isn’t an indicator of something more serious happening within the mechanics, instrumentation or equipment performance.
