October 2025 – Rotating Machinery Services (RMS), a leading independent provider of aftermarket turbomachinery engineering and services, today announced the opening of its new 150,000+ square foot facility at 10101 Bay Area Boulevard, Pasadena, Texas.
To be known as RMS Bay Area Blvd (BAB), the site is strategically located within the Houston Ship Channel industrial corridor, providing proximity to many of the world’s largest energy, petrochemical, and industrial companies.

We look forward to serving our customers with even greater efficiency from this new site.”
