Burckhardt Compression celebrate the opening of a new service center in eastern Canada

The event took place in the new state-of-the-art workshop – featuring catering from a local favorite – 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.

The event caused a real stir, with guests including 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.

Reliable regional support

Tim Lillak, Vice President (Americas) at Burckhardt Compression explains how the expansion will improve customer experience: “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. 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
