Steam Turbine Blading & Parts, LLC was formed January 13, 2003. The owners and principal managing team are Essie Noori, Jesse Llewellyn, Stephen Stevens, David Meyer, James Harris, Michael Dorrel, Daniel Sanchez, and Cesar Siordia.

The company is primarily involved in the manufacture of turbine blades and turbine parts for the steam and gas turbine industry. The parts consist of valve stems and bushings, packing seals, fasteners and other components, which generally require extremely close tolerances and extra fine finishes. The parts are manufactured as per the reverse engineering method: that means it needs a sample of the old to manufacture new parts.

Steam Turbine Blading & Parts, LLC is the sole supplier for steam turbine blades, gas turbine compressor blades, seals and most associated rotation and stationery components to Steam & Gas Turbine Repair Services, LLC: it also supplies the above parts to the after market end user (utilities) and industrial turbine owners, service shops and consulting companies.

To adequately understand the formation of Steam Turbine Blading & Parts, LLC it is necessary to know the history of two other companies: Steam, LLC and Steam & Gas Turbine Repair Services, LLC.

Steam & Gas Turbine Repair Services, LLC was founded by Jesse Llewellyn, David Meyer, and James Harris in January 2000. It was primarily involved in the specialty type of repairs on steam and gas turbines. Repairs consisted of on-site machining of turbine components. They supplied and installed turbine parts. They also did weld repairs on turbine cases and diaphragms. The company operated out of a small shop in Corona, CA., later moving to a larger 6000 square foot building in the same town. The company grew at a fast pace and required a larger shop facility. In July 2002 the company moved to their present location, a 12,000 square foot building in Ontario, CA.

Essie Noori founded Steam, Inc. in January 1998 as an engineering and consulting company for turbine generator systems. The company was located in Thousand Oaks, CA. Because of other interests the company did not become active until April 2001. The growth of the company was rapid and there became a great need for a larger space and for managerial structure. In July 2002 the company changed from a corporation to a LLC. The partners were Essie Noori, Michael Dorrel, Daniel Sanchez, and Cesar Siordia. They were primarily involved in on-site engineering, repair and maintenance for turbine generators and rotors.

Both companies continued to grow at a fast pace. On January 1, 2003 Steam, LLC and Steam & Gas Turbine Repair Services, LLC merged, combining the services of both companies. They operate out of the Ontario, CA location. Market demands dictated the need for a new company to manufacture turbine blades and parts. A study was performed and northern Nevada was determined to be the best location to establish the company and shop facility. Thus, Steam Turbine Blading & Parts, LLC was formed and a 10,000 square foot building was purchased in Minden, NV.
