Sulzer opens new service center for pumps in Saudi Arabia

Sulzer has opened a new service center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia which will provide maintenance and repair services for all types of pumps. The Sulzer Saudi Pump Company’s (SSPC) manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia has supplied equipment to the oil and gas, power generation and water sectors. Following this, Sulzer has invested in a purpose-built service center to support customers with after-market services including reverse engineering, rerates, spare parts management and maintenance contracts.

The service center is equipped with new machinery, including lathes, milling machines, balancing equipment, hydraulic presses and 20-tonne overhead cranes. Located on the same site as the pump manufacturing facility, the service center can also take advantage of the larger CNC machine tools, welding equipment and testing facilities next door.

Saeed Al Matar, Head of Pump Services at SSPC explains: “Sulzer also offers a retrofit service that enables customers to work with pump designers and optimize the performance of their equipment. For situations where production processes change, energy consumption needs to be reduced or performance enhanced, Sulzer can implement design changes.”
