POWER-GEN Middle East/WaterWorld Middle East 2015

Bob Kraft
CEO
Powerphase


After 15 years in advanced aircraft engine engineering at GE and Pratt & Whitney Bob, with three partners, founded Power Systems Mfg., LLC in 1998. Under his technical and business leadership PSM became the world’s leading alternate source supplier of advanced components for the state-of-the-art F-class fleet of industrial gas turbines. The company’s success was built around Bob’s vision of adaptation of aerospace technology to industrial engines and reduced life-cycle cost for fleet owners. PSM also successfully entered both the gas turbine component repair business and the field service business growing sales to more than $100 Million and employment from a handful to well over 300 people. The value of the company was verified by its sale in 2007 for over $240 Million. In 2011, Bob founded PowerPHASE which is focused on developing energy storage and power augmentation systems for existing gas turbine power plants. Bob earned a BSME from Cleveland State University.
