This expansion is set to rely on diesel- and natural gas- powered internal combustion engines. The trouble is that parts for these engines are often made from steel or cast iron. Cast iron breaks up like powder when machined and proves highly abrasive, wearing tools quickly and threatening job profitability for unprepared shops. While many tooling providers can provide a well-engineered tool for a small handful of applications in power generation, sourcing tools across the full spectrum of applications — to say nothing of sourcing support for these applications — requires a partner company with experience in power generation, data centers and engines.
