Dresser-Rand (or the Company) has roots that can be traced back to the 19th century. In the late 1800s, Solomon R. Dresser founded S.R. Dresser and Company in Bradford, Pennsylvania as a supplier to the growing oil industry in the area. In the same year, Clark Brothers Company was founded in Belmont, New York as a manufacturer of sawmill and agricultural machinery, including steam engines. The early 20th century saw many new companies emerge and existing companies expand to support the growing demand for energy. As a result of a merger, Ingersoll Rand was formed and began manufacturing compressors in Painted Post, New York. In the early 1900s, the Company received its first orders from the U.S. Navy for a new technology, vertical turbines to drive forced draft fans on destroyers.
