March 14, 2023. Sapphire Gas Solutions and Bauer Compressors, Inc. announce a national partnership between the two industry leaders. The partnership allows Sapphire to deploy, construct, and maintain an array of state-of-the-art Bauer manufactured gas compressors and provide OEM parts servicing multiple critical industries covering Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico.
Sapphire and Bauer are also aligned strategically in methane mitigation technologies, including cross compression services, providing a reduction in fugitive emissions and flaring prevention when the gas commodity needs to be vacated from the pipeline, without release into the atmosphere, for planned or unplanned inspection or maintenance on major utility pipelines.
“We are excited about our new partnership with Sapphire Gas Solutions to provide them with long-lasting value and opportunity for growth on many different fronts. Sapphire Gas Solutions has a National profile that provides for greater leverage to develop world-class CNG stations with potential National accounts in the transportation and energy sectors. Furthermore, Sapphire is 100% aligned with Bauer’s strategy to be the leader in the methane mitigation business geared towards midstream pipeline operators. Last but not least, Sapphire Gas Solutions is one of the leaders in virtual pipeline solutions which is also a major focus area for Bauer Compressors” – Tony Bayat, President of Bauer Compressors Inc.
“This partnership with Bauer is a huge step forward for Sapphire,” said Sam Thigpen, CEO of Sapphire Gas Solutions. “Our nationwide operations footprint and project execution experience are true solutions-based approaches. Sapphire’s ability to partner with Bauer and provide the technology for these solutions is a much bigger value add to the customer than each of us working as standalone vendors.”
