Lone Star Blower bought, bringing turbo blower rental and aftermarket in-house
Ingersoll Rand closed its acquisition of Lone Star Blower, Inc. on 31 July 2026, adding roughly $50m of annual revenue at a low double-digit multiple and expanding blower technology, rental fleet and aftermarket service in the Industrial Technologies and Services segment.
Illustrative photoLone Star Blower is a Houston-based turbo blower and aftermarket compressor business, and has long advertised aftermarket service for Ingersoll Rand Centac machines.
This is the 2026 deal with the most direct bearing on the centrifugal aftermarket: an independent Centac service provider is now part of the OEM.
Management framed it as expertise in blower technologies and aftermarket presence, not as a product line addition.
