Burckhardt Compression Opens Ontario Service Center
Burckhardt Compression celebrated the launch of its new regional service center in Sarnia, Ontario with a grand opening event. It marks the start of even greater local support and improved shipping times and costs for customers in the area.
The event took place in the new state-of-the-art workshop, allowing guests to explore the facility’s functional repair capabilities including the dedicated valve and packing repair cell. There is more to come too, as Burckhardt Compression plans to launch full piston and rod assembly refurbishment services alongside running gear repair capability and comprehensive inspection and rebuilding facilities.
Guests included maintenance personnel and reliability engineers from the oil and gas, petrochemical and water industries as well as several government representatives from the City of Sarnia, Sarnia–Lambton County, and the Province of Ontario, who expressed their enthusiastic support for continued growth in the region.
“Our new location was ready to go from day one, with teams reaching out to existing customers to explain how the new site can support them best,” said Tim Lillak, vice president of Americas at Burckhardt Compression. “The Sarnia service center will bring our 180 years of engineering experience to a whole new audience. “We’re passionate about going above and beyond for our customers, and this is the next step in our dedication to impactful service. If we are to deliver truly global solutions for a sustainable energy future, they must be efficient, and that needs local expertise.”
The strategic location of the new hub will enable significant improvements in quotation and delivery turnaround times for customers in Eastern Canada. At the same time, it will provide a one-stop-shop for maintenance, training, and testing in the area where specialists from the region deliver global skill blended with deep local knowledge
The new hub will improve the reach of expert shop and field service teams, ideally positioning them to provide installation, commission, and startup support. Burckhardt Compression said that the mission of the new Sarnia hub is to provide outstanding support where it matters most.
