History

Our History

With a rich heritage in steam that dates back to 1960’s, Skinner Power Systems manufactures single-stage, steam turbines of proven design for (up to 3,000 horsepower) mechanical drive and electric power generation for petrochemical, marine and many other industrial services around the world.
