RMS’s East Coast Mechanical & Marine Acquisition Enhances Global Technology Solutions

Rotating Machinery Services (RMS) recently acquired East Coast Mechanical & Marine (ECMM), a provider of rotating equipment field services, millwright labor, and outage support. The acquisition incorporates 27 experienced field-service professionals—from turbomachinery millwrights to technical field advisors (TFAs)—into RMS’s Global Technology Solutions (GTS) business segment. GTS integrates advanced metrology, tooling, and field execution to provide turnkey turnaround and outage solutions for critical rotating equipment.

“The acquisition of ECMM strengthens our ability to deliver technology-enabled field execution at scale,” said Kraig Simpson, Vice President of Global Technology Solutions at RMS. “By integrating ECMM’s experienced millwrights and TFAs into our GTS platform, we are combining mechanical expertise with advanced metrology and innovative solutions. The result is faster, more precise, and more predictable outage execution for our customers worldwide.”

ECMM improves the company’s ability to perform fully integrated field execution services across the energy, petrochemical, refining, power generation, and heavy industrial sectors. Now, RMS can offer expanded global coverage and rapid-response capability for outages, turnarounds, and emergent events involving steam turbines, compressors, expanders, and other critical rotating machines.

“Our team has built a reputation for dependable, high-quality turbomachinery field service,” said Matt Schreiner, Owner of ECMM. “Joining RMS allows us to expand that capability with world-class engineering, repair infrastructure, and advanced technology. Together, we can deliver greater value and more comprehensive solutions to customers across the globe.”

Customers will benefit from:

• 27 additional experienced turbomachinery field professionals, including millwrights and TFAs
• Expanded global outage and turnaround support capacity
• Faster response times and increased scheduling flexibility
• Continuity of service for all existing ECMM customers
• Expanded deployment of RMS’s advanced metrology, alignment, and tooling in the field and shop
• Fully integrated engineering-to-execution support via the GTS platform

An integrated approach minimizes turnaround duration, enhances installation accuracy, and provides customers with improved technical insight throughout their asset’s lifecycle. Schreiner’s role at RMS will continue in a leadership and technical advisory capacity.

TurboCare Acquisition

In late December 2025, RMS acquired EthosEnergy’s TurboCare Steam and Compression brand—a steam turbine and centrifugal compressor business with four service and manufacturing facilities in the United States, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Absorbing over 160 experienced employees, RMS’s acquisition expands its service capabilities and geographic coverage.

“This transaction reflects our commitment to ensuring customers of our steam turbine and compressor business continue to receive world-class support,” said Ana Amicarella, EthosEnergy CEO. “RMS is the ideal partner to carry forward the TurboCare legacy, combining deep technical expertise with a customer-first approach. We believe they are best positioned to build on this heritage, and we look forward to a continued partnership that delivers exceptional value to the industry.”

The primary additions include the Chicopee and Sterling blade, seal, diaphragm manufacturing, and steam turbine engineering facilities in Massachusetts, serving as RMS’s dedicated center for the legacy support of GE Fitchburg steam turbines. The acquisition integrates a highly experienced engineering team and independent, specialized design data with RMS’s engineering solutions, spare parts, and rotor repair services for GE Fitchburg and other OEM-made steam turbines.
