Thompson Energy expanding

MEMPHIS - Thompson Energy Solutions, a division of Thompson Machinery, is expanding its team in the Memphis-North Mississippi region to develop customized packaged solutions for industrial engines. 

These industrial engines are used for a variety of applications, from rock crushing equipment to irrigation pumps. The market includes a broad array of categories that cover any off-road engine application.

Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) depend on a healthy supply chain of industrial engines, parts and components, engineering services, and a strong workforce to be successful. 

Many OEMs select Caterpillar engines and the worldwide Cat dealer network, including Thompson Energy Solutions, to ensure their products' longevity and high performance in harsh environments. 

West Tennessee is the "perfect logistics corridor" for design and distribution, especially for OEMs interested in relocating to the Memphis and Jackson, Tenn., area, says Jack McCown, Power Systems Sales Manager at Thompson.

Mississippi's Golden Triangle - between Columbus, Starkville, West Point and Tupelo - present OEM's seeking relocation with attractive options for an excellent workforce, logistics capabilities for just-in-time manufacturing and distribution.

With supply chain restraints and workforce challenges of recent years, it makes sense for OEMs to be located closer to their suppliers, customer base, and commerce corridors, explains McCown. (PR Newswire 01/22/24) Industrial Engines Rev Up in West Tennessee and North Mississippi (prnewswire.com)
