Cook Adds Service Partners In Africa, Mideast

12 March 2019

Cook Compression has announced two new authorized service partners certified to provide local compressor valve and packing case repairs. Fancraft (Pty) Ltd. serves South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique and Botswana, while WoodServ covers the Middle East and Pakistan.

“We are proud to be expanding our authorized service partner program,” said Dean Lewis, Cook Compression VP Aftermarket, Europe & Russia. “Last year, we saw strong adoption of the certified valve and packing case repair services offered by our inaugural partners in Europe, and we are confident in the high quality of support that we are helping our newest partners deliver to end users in Africa and the Middle East.”

Cook Compression said its authorized service partners have passed a rigorous audit of their processes and equipment, are held to strict quality standards and guarantee their work for warranty periods established by Cook. Service capabilities apply to any brand compressor valve or packing case. Further, each valve that leaves the partners’ facilities is quality tested using a specially designed Cook Compression valve air test bench.

Fancraft is based out of South Africa and specializes in maintenance, repairs, overhauls and reconditioning of centrifugal, reciprocating and screw compressors; steam and gas turbines; pumps; gearboxes; fans; blowers and other rotating equipment. The company also provides spare parts to end users through agency agreements with some of the largest original equipment manufacturers in the rotating equipment industry.

WoodServ, headquartered in Bahrain, is a major gas compression technology provider for the oil & gas and power & energy industries. WoodServ is capable of supporting all OEM suppliers and offers all types of modularized gas processing units, including gas lift systems, wellhead compression, compressed natural gas (CNG), fuel gas boosters and treatment plants. The company provides full turnkey solutions to clients, from engineering, site preparation, procurement, fabrication, feasibility studies and equipment selection to evaluation, installation, commissioning and startup. Woodserv also provides training, operations and maintenance, field services, revamps and overhauls, machine shop support and spare parts.
