The power of thought is a remarkable thing. A brilliant mind can easily generate great ideas.
Like service solutions that benefit energy installations. Thats why we combine the engineering
capacity from our OEM background with the open-mindedness of an indepenedent service
provider. Giving tou sound advice and optimal service when it comes to repairing, reconditioning, upgrading or servicing GE type gas turbines.
A single source solution offering the best of both worlds. We call it OSP, Original Service
Provider. A great concept to engineer power installations worldwide to new levels. Because
improving our clients energy output sparks our minds as well. Our service and sales centers
are located in the Netherlands, Italy, India, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela.
