In 2007, Sulzer Turbo Services-the world’s largest independent provider of repair and maintenance services for turbines and other rotating equipment-chose Edmonton, Alberta for its first Canadian facility.

“The manufacturing and repair service opportunities in Western Canada are virtually without limit and so too are the opportunities for companies like ours to successfully service this sector,” explains Terry Moon, President of Sulzer Turbo Services Canada. With more than 175 years of experience, this company can repair literally every piece of equipment in the turbomachinery business.

World-class organizations like Sulzer Turbo Services can take advantage of a number of incentives-like business tax advantages and research and development dollars-offered by federal and provincial levels of the Canadian government. Beyond these kinds of incentives, investors find that Canada’s highly skilled workforce and dynamic economy are highly beneficial for getting a quick start in the market.

“Since establishing a presence in Canada”, explains Terry Moon, President of Sulzer Turbo Services Canada, “we’ve been getting calls from as far west as Vancouver Island to as far east as Newfoundland. The support for our business has been simply astounding.”
