MYCOM - Los Angeles
Chemical Process Corporation

After Manufacturing our first compressor in 1924 and our first screw compressor in 1964, Mayekawa Manufacturing Company steadily grew to be one of the largest oil flooded screw manufacturers in the world. Due to their simple and robust design, oil flooded screw compressors have been successful in a wide variety of applications from simple industrial refrigeration to highly specified offshore petrochemical compression. To better serve our customers in the petrochemical and severe duty markets, Mayekawa Manufacturing Corporation formed Mycom Chemical Process Corporation in Torrance, California.
