History

Building on a Legacy of Leadership

Our company’s legacy of leadership began more than 90 years ago with the establishing of Smith in 1927, followed by Smith becoming Hanover and then Exterran in 2007. In 2018, Castle Harlan, Inc., a private equity investment firm, acquired Exterran’s North American production equipment manufacturing assets and created Titan. Through the years, we have remained true to our values of dependable customer service and technology leadership. Today as Titan, we strive to continually improve, progress and develop to keep our customers ahead of the curve.
