40 Years of Getting
Texas-Tough Equipment
Back to Work
We're not the biggest shop in the country. We're just the one that fixes it right, backs it with a 24-month warranty, and answers the phone at 2 AM when your centrifuge decides to quit on a Sunday.
We Started With One Rule:
Fix It Right or Don't Charge For It
Back in 1983, Kelsey Machine Services opened its doors in Stafford, Texas with a simple philosophy: do the work right, stand behind it, and treat every customer like they're your only one. Forty-plus years later, that hasn't changed — even if the equipment has gotten a lot more complicated.
We started as a centrifuge repair shop serving the petrochemical and industrial markets around Houston. Word travels fast in this industry when you do good work, and it didn't take long before customers were shipping equipment to us from across the country. Today, we repair centrifuges, industrial gearboxes, blowers, compressors, and fluid end & power end components for customers in all 50 states, Canada, and Mexico.
We're still family-owned. Still in Stafford. Still answering the phone ourselves. And still doing the work the same way we always have — with the kind of care and precision that only comes from people who actually give a damn about what they're doing.
Our industry-leading 24-month warranty on rebuilt equipment isn't a marketing gimmick — it's a reflection of how confident we are in our work. If something goes wrong after we fix it, we make it right. That's the KMS promise, and it's been the KMS promise since day one.
Our History
Founded in Stafford, TX
Kelsey Machine Services opens its doors in Stafford, Texas — a small shop with big ambitions and a whole lot of rotating equipment to fix.
Expanding the Service Range
KMS grows beyond centrifuge repair into gearboxes, industrial blowers, and compressors. Word spreads fast when you do good work.
Going National
Free nationwide pickup and delivery changes everything. KMS starts serving customers in all 50 states — no matter how far the equipment needs to travel.
The 24-Month Warranty Standard
KMS introduces its industry-leading 24-month rebuilt warranty — twice what most competitors offer. If we fix it, we stand behind it.
40+ Years Strong
Still family-owned. Still in Stafford. Still the most trusted name in rotating equipment repair across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
What We Believe In
These aren't values we put on a poster in the break room. They're the way we actually operate — every job, every day.
We Fix It Right the First Time
Every repair goes through a rigorous inspection, precision machining, and performance testing before it leaves our shop. We don't cut corners — because corners have a way of coming back to bite you.
We Stand Behind Our Work
Our industry-leading 24-month warranty on rebuilt equipment isn't a marketing line — it's a promise. If something goes wrong after we fix it, we make it right. Period.
Speed Matters When You're Down
Downtime costs money. That's why we offer fast standard turnaround and 24/7 emergency service for critical failures. We move fast so you can get back to work.
We Come to You — Anywhere
Free national pickup and delivery means you're never stuck because you can't get equipment to us. We've served customers in all 50 states, Canada, and Mexico.
OEM-Level Expertise, Independent Prices
Our technicians have decades of hands-on experience with every major brand — Alfa Laval, Andritz, SWECO, Flender, Falk, and dozens more. You get OEM-quality results without the OEM wait times and markups.
Texas-Built. American-Proud.
We've been doing this in Stafford, Texas for over 40 years. We're not a national chain or a private equity rollup. We're a family-owned Texas shop that takes pride in every single job.
The KMS Difference:
It's Not Just What We Fix. It's How.
There are plenty of repair shops out there. Most of them will fix your equipment. Some of them will fix it right. Very few of them will fix it right, back it with a 24-month warranty, pick it up from anywhere in the country for free, and have it back to you fast.
That's the KMS standard. It's what we've been doing for over 40 years, and it's why customers keep coming back — and why they refer us to their colleagues, their contractors, and their competitors when equipment goes down.
We service all major brands — Alfa Laval, Andritz, SWECO, Flender, Falk, Gardner Denver, Roots, and dozens more. Our technicians have seen it all, fixed most of it, and know exactly what it takes to get your specific equipment running at peak performance again.
