How PERA Helps Clients Go Global

The Texas-based machinists at South Houston Engine Service, Inc., have been rebuilding diesel engines and engine components for over 21 years. South Houston Engine Service, Inc., is affiliated with professional organizations that testify to the business’ excellent service and community standing. These affiliations include the Better Business Bureau and the Production Engine Remanufacturers Association, or PERA.

Since its founding, PERA has encouraged its members to adopt the highest standards of ethics and customer satisfaction. The organization also believes that members should treat their employees as well as they treat their customers and strives to advance the engine remanufacturing industry by taking its products and services to clients around the world.

On the PERA website, www.pera.org, the group archives news announcements and resources that inform clients of exciting business prospects. One such resource details the 2011 Asia Pacific Business Outlook conference. Clients who attended the APBO conference got to conduct one-on-one conversations with executives from the Asia Pacific region, who offered insight into the thriving Korean, Japanese, and Indian markets, among others.

AERA – Providing the Necessary Tool in the Engine Building Business

Since its inception in 1993, South Houston Engine Service Inc. has been using advanced equipment and ASE-certified machinists to remanufacture diesel engines. For this reason, it has been building quality diesel engines with prices cheaper than dealer prices by 25-50 percent. South Houston Engine Service Inc. is also an active member of the AERA Engine Builders Association.

An established technical resource for internal combustion engine remanufacturers, builders, suppliers, and service providers, AERA provides technical assistance and unparalleled access to information to its members. The organization advocates for sensible government policy that promotes the common interest of the industry.

In line with its goal, AERA organizes Tech and Skills Regional Conferences. Aside from providing critical skills instruction and technical presentations, these conferences provide attendees with opportunities to meet suppliers and expand their network. Five attendees of each regional conference can be eligible for the Engine Rebuilders Educational Foundation (EREF) grant that covers the recipient’s registration fee, meals, gas, and accommodations.
