Trifecta Energy recently installed four new Ingersoll Rand (IR) compressors required for the Centralized Aircraft Support System (CASS).

Currently the IR, San Antonio Service Center (a sub-contractor for Trifecta Energy), is the only center in the nation authorized to provide IR Factory Trained Certified Technicians, directly from IR, in the territory in which Laughlin AFB is located. IR is an inverted domestic corporation. As a result,Trifecta Energy acts as IR's strategic federal account in order to conduct business with the U.S Federal Government. This contract may not be awarded to IR, San Antonio Service Center independent of Trifecta Energy based on the company's status as an inverted domestic corporation.
