Rotating and reciprocating equipment and flow-control technologies play a critical role across today’s energy and process industries. Turbines, compressors, pumps, valves, actuators, and their relevant components enable the production, processing, and movement of fuels, electrons, and chemicals that underpin the global economy.

As energy and process industry landscapes evolve, these technologies will remain essential—sustaining traditional markets like oil and gas while enabling growth in emerging areas such as carbon capture, low-carbon fuels, and renewables.

Yet the path forward is increasingly complex and uncertain. The scale of change across the global energy landscape, emerging trade barriers, the rapid deployment of generative AI, the uncertainty around future technologies, and the interplay of economics, regulation, and geopolitics highlight the challenges ahead for equipment manufacturers, service companies, and distributors.

It presents even greater challenges for small and medium-sized (SME) industrial companies that operate in these markets.  They form the backbone of rotating equipment and flow-control industries, but often do not possess the market intelligence, in-house experts, direct access to end customers, and financial capital to place large strategic bets with confidence.   

The stakes for these SMEs are high.  Doing nothing potentially could lead to reduced competitiveness and market share loss.  Committing to a wrong strategy that is poorly planned or executed could lead to financial losses and management distractions.   

Our mission is to help these companies in the rotating equipment and flow control industries succeed by providing tailored and practical advice that addresses key strategic questions on their minds:

• How will shifts in global energy markets impact our existing core business? 
• Which new markets should we prioritize and pursue for growth? 
• What is the timeframe for us to enter these markets?  How do we de-risk our entry strategy?
• Are there new business and revenue models to consider?
• What are the critical innovation and technology advancements to adopt?
• What type of resources, skills, and capabilities should we invest?
• How do we prioritize this in the context of our existing strategic priorities?
• What are the adjacencies and M&A opportunities we should pursue?
