'''Compression Systems''' (formerly''' Cooper Compression / Cooper Energy Services / Cooper Turbocompressor / Cooper'''), one of five organizational groups within [[Cameron International Corporation]], is a provider of [[Reciprocating compressor|reciprocating]] and [[Centrifugal compressor|centrifugal]] [[Gas compressor|compression equipment]] and aftermarket parts and services. Reciprocating compression equipment is used throughout the energy industry by gas transmission companies, compression leasing companies, oil and gas producers and independent power producers. Integrally geared centrifugal compressors are used by customers around the world in a variety of industries such as air separation, auto making, glass blowing, PET, petrochemical and chemical. Reciprocating compression was sold to [[GE Oil and Gas]] in June 2014.

== History ==
Compression Systems began in 1833 when Charles and Elias Cooper established a foundry in [[Mount Vernon, Ohio|Mt. Vernon]], [[Ohio]]. "Cooper", as it was known, was licensed to produce the [[Corliss steam engine]] in 1869 and entered the production of [[natural gas]] [[internal combustion engine]]s in 1900. In 1929, Cooper merged with Bessemer Gas Engine Company, which was founded in [[Grove City, Pennsylvania|Grove City]], [[Pennsylvania]], in 1899. In 1958, Cooper diversified into the controls industry with the establishment of the En-Tronic Controls Group. Five years later, the company acquired the Ajax Engine Company, founded in 1877, and the Pennsylvania Process, founded to manufacture compressors in 1920.<ref name="cooper">{{cite book|author=Keller, David N. |title=Cooper Industries 1833-1983|edition=|publisher=Ohio University Press|year=1983|isbn=0-8214-0751-1}}</ref>

In 1965, the company branched out into electrical, automotive and tools and hardware industries. Two years later, it moved its headquarters to Houston and in 1968 began the Cooper Rolls joint venture with [[Rolls-Royce Limited|Rolls-Royce]] to market [[gas turbine]]s.<ref name="history">[http://c-a-m.com/content/company/history.cfm&bunit=cs Cameron History]{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

1987 marked the acquisition of Joy Industrial Compressor Group, founded in 1955 in [[Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], [[New York (state)|New York]], which was renamed Cooper Turbocompressor as part of Cooper Compression.
