Blackstone expands European service network with Italian facility

Blackstone Industrial Services has opened a new service facility in Rosignano Marittimo, Italy, expanding its European operations and providing additional maintenance, repair and aftermarket parts support for rotating equipment customers across the region.

The new Blackstone Italia facility, located in Tuscany, was established in partnership with Valmec SM, an Italian industrial services company with more than 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry.

The operation combines Blackstone’s engineering, field service, equipment repair and parts supply capabilities with Valmec’s established regional workforce and customer relationships.

According to Blackstone, the facility will serve as a maintenance and overhaul center and parts warehouse supporting customers in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and surrounding markets.

Expanding aftermarket capabilities

The Italian operation is intended to reduce response times for field services, improve the availability of replacement parts and provide local support for maintenance and equipment overhaul activities.

The facility will also support expansion of Blackstone’s Parts Liberty program, which provides alternative parts and service solutions for industrial equipment operators.

Blackstone said the additional inventory and technical resources will allow the company to respond more quickly to maintenance requirements while reducing lead times for parts and repairs.

Valmec SM employs approximately 150 people and provides industrial services at major facilities throughout Italy. Its local workforce and technical experience will complement Blackstone’s international engineering and service capabilities.

The new facility joins Blackstone’s Roteq operation in Spain, strengthening the company’s European service network and expanding its ability to support industrial equipment throughout its operating life.

The expansion follows Blackstone’s efforts to broaden its international aftermarket business. In May 2026, the company appointed Martin Shironoshita director of international sales, based in Madrid, Spain, as part of its strategy to develop business outside North America.

Blackstone also consolidated three Houston-area operations into a 77,000-square-foot turbomachinery technical center in 2025, expanding its U.S. repair and service capabilities.

The new Blackstone Italia facility is located at Via della Villana 160 in Rosignano Marittimo, near the Mediterranean coast.
