Our History Pioneering compressor remanufacturing Since 1938
In 1938, Earl Moreland recognized a need in the United States: remanufactured air conditioning and refrigeration compressors that were equal in quality to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) compressors but at a fraction of the cost. He believed customers would find value in remanufactured compressors and, at the same time, save a lot of money. The only obstacle to overcome would be customers’ perceived idea that the quality of remanufactured compressors is not equivalent to OEM compressors. He felt so strongly about the quality of the compressors he could manufacture that he attached the same warranty an OEM would place on their compressors. In 1938, City Compressor opened in the city of Detroit, Michigan. Earl worked hard for many years, building close relationships with customers and mastering the process of remanufacturing compressors. In 1956, City Compressor was moved to Miami, Florida.
In 1995, City Compressor purchased Raymond Services Inc. in Charlotte, North Carolina. This location allowed City Compressor to ship most compressors on the same day an order was placed. This also placed 56% of the US population within a one-day drive of our Charlotte facility. In keeping with our desire for quality and due to the increased manufacturing volume, in 2000, City Compressor built a new facility located just off I-77 in north Charlotte. In 2016, City Compressor was purchased by a new owner with the same enthusiasm as the Moreland family.
Over the past decade, City Compressor has grown its position in the marketplace from a local presence to a national supplier. Now, the global market is becoming a reality for distributing our compressors. City Compressor is evolving into a world-class global organization that still emphasizes every customer’s personal and immediate needs. We intend to be the supplier of choice for aftermarket remanufactured air conditioning and refrigeration compressors by focusing on quality with an industry-leading warranty return rate, ready-ship availability from in-stock inventory, and excellent innovative customer service. We have kept our family-owned ethics and morals while still being able to supply compressors all over the world.
