MHPS, PWPS Join to Form Turbomachinery Powerhouse

LAKE MARY, Florida (April 2, 2018) — Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) today announced the integration of PW Power Systems (PWPS) within Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas (MHPS Americas).

MHPS Americas CEO Paul Browning said, “Integrating PWPS into MHPS Americas broadens our product portfolio and allows us to realize synergies between our various manufacturing and service centers in the United States, while also leveraging the global sales and service capabilities of MHPS and PWPS.  We’re also excited to leverage PWPS’s gas turbine power plant turnkey capabilities and their industrial gas turbine parts and repair capabilities.”

Originally acquired by MHI in 2013, PWPS has been functioning as a stand-alone MHPS subsidiary prior to this announcement.
