Sulzer, the global leader in fluid engineering, announces the launch of its Bintulu Service Centre in East Malaysia, marking a significant advancement in supporting the region’s expanding oil, gas, and power sectors.
Providing state-of-the-art retrofit, repair, and service solutions for rotating equipment such as pumps, turbomachinery, and electromechanical equipment, the centre addresses the evolving needs of energy operators, maximising operational uptime and driving efficiency for energy-intensive infrastructure across Malaysia and the wider Borneo region.
The Sulzer Bintulu Service Centre offers a comprehensive range of services including specialised repair, overhaul, and field services for all types of rotating equipment, along with advanced capabilities such as reverse engineering, 3D scanning, and additive manufacturing for parts and coatings.
These services are tailored to ensure the longevity, efficiency, and reliability of energy-intensive oil, gas, and power infrastructure.
This development comes as Malaysia expands its crucial role in supporting ASEAN’s growing energy demand, which is set to triple by 2050. Largely driven by industrial and transport sectors, oil and gas will remain essential to meeting near-term demand, with estimations that the industry will surpass RM60 billion in GDP by 2030.
Sulzer’s Bintulu Service Centre strategically supports the region’s oil and gas infrastructure, ensuring maximised operations to bolster Malaysia’s energy efficiency and security.
Wong Chin Hean, Head of Services for Southeast Asia, said, “Sulzer has established a robust installed base in East Malaysia and Brunei, with hundreds of high-energy pumps serving critical oil, gas, and power installations across Sarawak, Sabah, and Brunei.
“This strong presence, coupled with our comprehensive, OEM-agnostic services, uniquely positions Sulzer to cater to a diverse range of rotating equipment servicing needs in the region.
“By offering specialised maintenance and repair services for pumps, turbomachinery, and electromechanical equipment, Sulzer’s experts help customers overcome long lead times for spare parts and the limited repair and maintenance support in East Malaysia, streamlining maintenance processes and ensuring consistent, high-quality services.”
The Bintulu Service Centre is set to play a crucial role in Sulzer’s regional expansion strategy, with its Malaysian national servicing capacity increasing by 80%.
The centre’s capacity not only aligns with demand for services from key industry players in the vicinity, but also prepares Sulzer to support the entire lifespan of new and existing infrastructure with specialised, locally accessible expertise.
“Our Bintulu Service Centre’s launch reinforces Sulzer’s commitment to our customers. We know the demands and pressures they are under to deliver energy resilience for East Malaysia and beyond, and our support connects innovation and expertise to safeguard critical equipment,” Wong said.
“With advanced technology and proximity to key regional clients, we aim to meet the unique demands of operators in this vital energy corridor.”
