EEE’s new Middle Eastern service center localizes its support and features new technologies, such as laser welding, a spin pit for impeller repairs, and a cylindrical grinding machine.
Ebara Elliott Energy (EEE) broke ground on a new service center in Abu Dhabi. Situated in KEZAD, the service center features two fully air-conditioned production bays, cranes, and advanced technologies, such as laser welding, a spin pit for impeller repairs, and a cylindrical grinding machine.
“This facility signifies more than just another location—it’s a significant advancement in delivering service directly to our customers in the Middle East and its neighboring areas,” said Nobu Miyaki, Chief Executive Officer of Ebara Elliott Energy. “By making this investment, we are affirming our long-term commitment to the region and ensuring that we will be ready to assist our clients whenever and wherever they need us.”
Operation is set to start in the latter half of 2026. The facility is located on a 14,391-square-mile plot with a built-up area of 6,658 square miles. Once operations begin, the center will provide full-service repairs for compressors, steam turbines, expanders, cryogenic pumps, and API pumps.

In December 2024, EEE finished renovations and repairs on its New Orleans Service Center. Before full reconstruction, EEE performed temporary repairs to maintain the center’s operations, including roof patches, reinforced walls, and dehumidification in office areas.
New Orleans Service Center offices were damaged by Hurricane Ida and relocated during the final renovation.
“We are proud of our team’s resilience and dedication throughout this process," said Matthew Rhodes, EEE Global Services Vice President. "Despite the challenges, our employees ensured that we could continue operations and ensure our customers received service without interruption. These facility upgrades will not only increase our capabilities but also strengthen our position to meet our customers’ future demands."
EEE’s renovation work included a full reconstruction of the collapsed east wall, a new high bay roof, and a new exterior. The company also renovated office areas and added a modern customer lounge, updated lunchrooms, and installed new shipping and receiving doors with updated facility signage.
