The company completed its initial public offering in 2023 and has positioned itself as one of the larger pure-play contract compression providers in the United States. Its strategic positioning is supported by long-term customer relationships, a modern compression fleet, and operational exposure to major U.S. shale basins, particularly regions with rising natural gas production and LNG export demand.
