SAN DIEGO, CA [September 2, 2015] – After hitting the road to attend end-of-summer conferences and tradeshows, the  After Market Service (AMS) department at RIX supported US Navy innovation with compressor technology at the  Fleet Maintenance & Modernization Symposium (FMMS) 2015 and NDIA 27th Navy Gold Coast Small Business Procurement Event .

FMMS is the premier event for Director of Field Maintenance, Jeff Grimm, to connect with Port Engineers from around the globe on an annual basis. “ Field service is critical to keeping the Navy full steam ahead. Our established partnerships strengthen the trust that we at RIX will exceed their expectations each and every time,” said Jeff Grimm.

The recent delivery of RIX’s newly designed liquid oxygen plant aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) was also an item of interest. RIX continues to expand their expertise into new technologies and emerging markets.

RIX is proud to support the Navy with innovative compressor technology and field service. “Supporting our global customers on short-notice and at the deck plates is what makes RIX the industry leader in compressor technology.” said Terry Allvord, Director of Business Development at RIX Industries.
