Greenray was formed in 1981 by a group of former employees of GEC Gas Turbines. Its first contract was to supply water well drilling tools into Iraq. Over the next twenty years this business expanded into oil drilling and geographically into the Middle East and North Africa becoming market leader in most of the territories. During the 1990’s it identified a niche market in the supply of spare parts and service to customers with gas turbines aged between 25 and 40 years, offering the potential of extending their life by a further 20+ years. Greenray Turbines was formed and began to establish a relationship with what was then GEC Alstom at its European Gas Turbines(EGT) site in Lincoln. By 1997 Greenray was a global company distributing services and spares on a world wide basis. In 2006, Greeray became an Advance Partner of Siemens Industrial Gas Turbines.
