Blackmer Opens New Military West Coast Service Center

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Blackmer, part of PSG, a Dover (NYSE: DOV) company, and a global leader in rotating pumps and reciprocating compressor technologies, today announced the opening of its new Military West Coast Repair Center in San Diego, California. This strategic expansion enhances Blackmer’s ability to deliver faster, more localized support to its valued military and marine customers operating on or near the Pacific Coast.

With a legacy of supporting U.S. Navy ships and military installations since before World War II, Blackmer pumps and compressors are known for their safety, reliability and operational excellence. The new San Diego facility joins the company’s Military East Coast Repair Center in Virginia Beach, Virginia, to form a robust, bi-coastal repair network built to meet the urgent and specialized needs of the U.S. Military.

“Reliable performance is critical to national security and maritime operations,” said Sean Roberts, Blackmer Regional Sales & West Coast Repair Center Manager. “Our new San Diego location brings Blackmer-certified OEM repair capabilities and expert knowledge closer to where it’s urgently needed, reducing lead times and downtime for our customers.”

The Blackmer Military West Coast Repair Center will offer:

  • Certified OEM rebuilds performed by Blackmer-trained personnel;
  • Stocked inventory of high-demand components, including liners, rotors / shafts and Class A repair kits;
  • Operational testing capabilities to ensure mission-ready performance;
  • Local fleet training to empower military maintenance crews; and
  • Four-to-six week lead times to support rapid deployment needs.

“All Blackmer repair operations are conducted using factory-certified parts, a non-negotiable standard when safety and compliance are on the line,” added Roberts, who is also a retired Chief Warrant Officer of the U.S. Navy. “Both our East Coast and West Coast repair facilities are Department of Defense business ready and staffed by specialists who understand the unique environments and expectations of the U.S. Navy, Army, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.”
