A History of Blading Services
In the dynamic world of turbine manufacturing, precision is paramount, and Blading Services Unlimited, LLC (BSU) has been at the forefront since its inception on March 10, 2014. Founded with a vision to deliver unparalleled quality and service to the steam and gas industry, BSU specializes in the manufacture of turbine blades and parts, where exacting tolerances and immaculate finishes are not just standards but imperatives.
BSU operates on the principles of customer-centricity and technical excellence. Whether it’s fabricating parts from customer-supplied drawings or employing reverse engineering techniques, where a sample of the old part is utilized to craft new components, BSU ensures that each product meets the highest standards of precision and performance.
At the helm of BSU’s management team is Stephen Stevens, whose outstanding career in manufacturing spans decades. With a rich background that includes stints at prominent organizations like Elmar Locker of H & E Machinery, Inc., Stephen brings a wealth of experience in setting up and managing manufacturing facilities. His leadership has been instrumental in shaping BSU’s commitment to quality and innovation.
Stephen’s journey in manufacturing began as the Production Manager for Elmar Locker of H & E Machinery, Inc. in Ithaca, NY. Over nineteen years with the company, he undertook significant responsibilities, including setting up and managing a plant in Owego, NY, overseeing operations in Jakarta, Indonesia, and serving as Plant Manager in Auburn, NY. His tenure at H & E Machinery, Inc. provided him with invaluable insights into the intricacies of manufacturing operations, laying the foundation for his subsequent ventures.
After leaving H & E Machinery, Inc. in 2003, Stephen embarked on a new chapter, playing a pivotal role in the establishment of Steam Turbine Blading and Parts in Minden, Nevada. His expertise and leadership were crucial in steering the company toward success, cementing his reputation as a visionary in the turbine manufacturing industry.
Following his tenure at Steam Turbine Blading and Parts, Stephen continued his journey at Hartman Enterprises in Oneida, New York, where he continued to serve his customers with unwavering dedication. However, driven by a desire to create something truly exceptional, Stephen co-founded Blading Services Unlimited, LLC in March 2014, laying the groundwork for a new era of excellence in turbine manufacturing.
