Rolls-Royce Plc

Company Overview

Rolls-Royce is a manufacturer of automobiles, and it subsequently expanded its manufacturing capabilities to aircraft engines to assist war efforts in World War I. It has developed aircraft turbines for civilian and defense aircraft and maintained its automobile business. Financial troubles caused by aircraft turbine development led to the nationalization of Rolls-Royce Ltd. in 1971 and the divestiture of its automobile business. Rolls-Royce became a private company again in 1987 as Rolls-Royce PLC. Through an expansion of existing manufacturing and development capabilities as well as several acquisitions, Rolls-Royce entered the markets for gas turbines, power system turbomachinery, and marine propulsion technologies in the 1990s.

Rolls-Royce is a leading turbomachinery and power equipment supplier to the oil and gas production industry. Barrel compressors and compression system prime movers (electric motors, gas turbines, engines) are available through Rolls-Royce for implementation within gas compression and injection systems. It has experience in the design, manufacture, installation, and service of gas reinjection compressors and systems required for HG flooding EOR technology. In May 2014, Siemens announced the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Energy, its aero-derivative gas turbine and compressor business.
