On August 14th, 2014, Takaaki Hayata, President of KCA, Dottie Kaminsky, Mayor Pro Tem of La Porte, Texas, the La Porte Chamber of Commerce and city officials attended the groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the visible beginning of a new milestone in the journey of Kobelco Compressors America, Inc.

The much needed service center will provide quicker turn-around time to address the needs of Kobelco’s primary customer base in Texas and the surrounding states. With the building’s completion, customers will have closer and easier access to Kobelco’s know-how, customer service, and compressor overhauls, ensuring reliable operation and optimum performance for many years.

The site will also help Kobelco reach our Mission Statement, “To be a leading global provider of quality and innovative engineered compressor systems that deliver superior value for our customers, employees and investors.”

Kobelco Compressors America, Inc. would like to thank our clients, suppliers, and the City of La Porte, TX for their continued support.
