It’s difficult to imagine a time before digitized turbomachinery control systems, yet a little more than 50 years ago, these essential algorithms were pneumatic and limited. Productivity was simply defined as designing efficient, reliable machines. That all changed with the pioneering work of CCC’s co-founder, Naum Staroselsky. His six patents paved the path to a thriving new industry around computerized turbomachinery controls — and a first adopter that he and his co-founders aptly named Compressor Controls Corporation. Fifty years and two billion hours of operational experience later, CCC is continuing to lead the way in an operational landscape where productivity is becoming synonymous with autonomy.
As CCC celebrates a half-century of innovation and leadership, we’re looking back to the milestones that define our company, the compressor controls space and the customers we serve. But we’re also looking ahead to all that we’ll accomplish as part of the Honeywell family. Whether you’re a CCC customer, team member or partner, an OEM or operator, an industry veteran or just embarking upon your career, we invite you to join us on a journey into turbomachinery controls innovation — one that will shape our industry’s secure future well beyond the next 50 years.
