Western Rotating Equipment Solutions, or WRES Ltd. in short, was created in 2015 by Joe Tschanz of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, at a time when the local economy fell into a recession with a severity not seen in decades. Hardest hit was the the oil & gas industry, with commodity prices so low, many companies operated at a loss.    

Corporations went into survival mode, looking to implement cost cutting measures to allow them to continue their operations. WRES Ltd. entered the market with the mission to provide industry with sensible cost saving solutions and this idea was well received.
