Sulzer leverages the strategic location and resources of Khuff General Trading & Contracting Company’s Al Ahmadi Service Center to ensure 24/7 service availability for customers in the region. Companies operating in the energy and water industries can rely on comprehensive support across their entire equipment range. Services at the new facility include standard part and component repairs, reverse engineering, strip-down and inspection services, advanced diagnostics and cutting-edge technologies for multiple pump brands.

Drawing on its global expertise, the new Sulzer service facility will also extend its services to rotating equipment such as gas and steam turbines, compressors and motors. Access to quality service support ensures customers in the region can benefit from rapid turnaround times and higher operational productivity.

Round the clock services

Sulzer’s Services Division President Ravin Pillay-Ramsamy said: “This service expansion demonstrates our ongoing commitment to customers and partners in the region. With innovative solutions and expert support tailored to their unique challenges, we optimize their operations holistically and create added value by resolving issues across their entire equipment portfolio.
