As part of the huge redevelopment of Middlehaven, the historic heart of local industry in Middlesbrough, Sulzer has relocated its Service Centre to a brand new, purpose-built facility that was officially opened by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal on 23rd March 2015. The new £4.5m Service Centre will be part of the national engineering and repair facilities that enable Sulzer to offer a true 24/7 service for engineering solutions across the UK.
Relocating to the new site has enabled Sulzer to demonstrate its commitment to the North East by expanding the size of the new facility by over 25%. The expansion has also enabled Sulzer to create a new state-of-the-art metal spraying and testing facility.
Middlehaven is one of the North-East’s largest and most exciting regeneration schemes, covering an area of approximately 57 hectares (140 acres). Middlesbrough Council and the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), which is responsible for the regeneration project, has partly funded Sulzer’s move to the new site.
Once fully operational, the new Service Centre will offer a full complement of repair and refurbishment services for motors, pumps and generators as well as repair and upgrade services for many types of drive and control systems. In addition, the engineering workshop will deliver a wide range of mechanical repairs and machining services while on-site engineers will deliver balancing, vibration analysis and laser alignment services.
The experienced project management team helps a diverse range of clients to ensure that their mechanical and electrical repairs are delivered on time in the most cost effective way. Fast and effective troubleshooting and performance analysis allow these maintenance experts to improve reliability and operational efficiency for a large number of applications.
