Sauer Compressors USA has expanded its high-pressure air and gas compressor rentals business with the appointment of three business development managers to cover key U.S. regions.

The company named Chuck Westhofen to lead business development in the East, Jeff Swearingen for the Gulf Coast, and Kyle Ricks for the West. Each brings industry experience and sales expertise to support Sauer’s rental customers across industrial and energy markets.

“The new additions to our Business Development Team reflect our continued commitment to delivering the optimal compressor solutions when our customers need them most,” said Don Eaton, president and CEO. “As our rental division grows, so does our ability to respond quickly and effectively to urgent demands across industries.”

Westhofen will focus on the East Coast and Midwest, working to expand Sauer’s customer base and reinforce existing relationships. Swearingen will lead efforts in the Gulf Coast, a major hub for offshore and industrial clients, while Ricks will cover the western U.S., positioning Sauer’s rental offerings closer to customers in that region.

Sauer’s Rentals Division provides a fleet of medium- and high-pressure compressors, boosters, and integrated systems designed for continuous duty and demanding applications. The company said the expansion underscores its effort to support customers with flexible solutions for short-term projects, emergencies, or specialized operational needs.
