Alturdyne was founded in 1971 to package gas turbine systems for the commercial and governmental marketplaces. The widespread acceptance of Alturdyne’s design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities has resulted in a continuing staff and facility expansion. Custom reciprocating engine power systems from 10 to 5000 horsepower presently account for the majority of Alturdyne's business. Presently, over 100 people operate a facility in San Diego, California as well as a second in Dallas, Texas.
