Cleveland Brothers Celebrates its 100th Engine Rebuild

Caterpillar dealer Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co. recently celebrated its 100th gas compression engine rebuild at its new Engine Rebuild Center (ERC) in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.

The 100th engine, a Cat G3516B, is owned by Repsol, a global multi-energy company. Repsol has a goal of achieving zero net emissions by 2050. This is the seventeenth gas compression engine Repsol has had rebuilt by Cleveland Brothers at the facility.

The 165,000-square-foot facility opened in 2020 and supports the largest Cat gas compression engines, including G3300 to G3600 models. Engines received at the facility are disassembled, inspected and rebuilt following OEM specifications.

"An engine rebuild is a cost-effective way for customers to transform existing engines back to original specifications, efficiency and performance," said Vince Meinert, Cleveland Brothers vice president of energy & transportation.

"We are grateful our customers, like Repsol, trust our knowledge and expertise with their engine rebuilds because of our commitment to quality and our quick turnaround time which, in turn, ensures uptime."
