What Enerflex does

Manufactures natural gas compression and processing equipment and provides related energy infrastructure services globally.

Part of the income is lumpy, from building compression and gas-processing packages to order; the rest is steadier, from rental fleets and aftermarket service on equipment it has already installed. Based in Calgary and listed in Toronto and New York, it enlarged its international rental and service base with the 2022 Exterran merger.

In one line: A natural gas compression/processing equipment maker like a smaller Archrock.
