Cameron International was founded in 1833 when Charles and Elias Cooper established a foundry and named the new company Cooper Industries.
The company became licensed to produce the Corliss steam engine in 1869 and began producing natural gas internal combustion engines in 1900.
In 1965 Cooper expanded to the automotive, electrical, and tools and hardware industries.
In 1989 Cooper acquired Cameron Iron Works and became Cooper Cameron Corporation. In 2006 the company changed names once again, this time to Cameron International Corporation.
Today Cameron International is a leading manufacturer, provider, and servicer of oil and gas industry equipment, makes products that control pressure at oil and gas wells, and produces integral and separable reciprocating engines and compressors used in oil and gas and power generation applications.
The company’s brands include Ajax, Cameron, Cooper-Bessemer, Demco, LeTorneau, Petreco, and Willis.
In April 2016, Schlumberger acquired Cameron International for $14.8 billion in stocks and cash.
In August 2022, a former Cameron site in Little Rock, Arkansas, was sold to GTM Holdings for an estimated $775 million.
Cameron International/Schlumberger maintains a corporate office in Houston, Texas.
