Talk:Enterprise Engine and Foundry Co.

[Untitled]
I have put this article in the category "Companies based in San Francisco" because it is a historical article and the company was founded in San Francisco. Please re-categorize it, if appropriate. Biscuittin 18:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Extracted from article
The following note, entered previously by another member, actually refers to what a company best known by those in the field, as Powerhouse Diesel Services,Inc. or Powerhouse, Inc. last known location Benicia, California. (There have been name variants over a period of years.) The citation of employing '50+ former Enterprise staff' should be verified, but may refer to hires made over several years. The company contracts manufacture of a limited list of Enterprise parts. Some are now built to their improved design, but Powerhouse is neither a foundry, nor an industrial manufacturing facility. The company maintains a well equipped metal working shop and does in-house parts 'refurbishing' via machine shop processes, blast cleaning (where appropriate, for purposes of repainting), etc. Most customer projects contracted to Powerhouse, which require on-site operations involving large industrial machinery or specialized industrial equipment specific to a process is sub-contracted by Powerhouse to other companies in the large engine MRO support services field. At present, there is within the industry, a wide ranging estimation of how many Enterprise engines remain in service. It's known that some were built/sold for use out of the country and some were sold overseas when retired from US service, some are known scrapped - especially marine propulsion installations. It's questionable whether the OEM, Cameron International, supplies hundreds of the engines now.

Note: ''Another company Powerhouse Engineered Products is a prime distributor of parts for these engines as well. The company hired 50+ employees from the original Enterprise factory back in the 50's and manufactures and supplies parts for hundreds of these engines.'' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdkilgour (talk • contribs) 19:27, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Few Engines Remaining- INCORRECT
The citation is an incomplete list. There are far more Enterprises in service than this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.204.131.70 (talk) 21:40, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
