Burckhardt Compression opens new locations in Canada and the USA

(CONNECT) Burckhardt Compression is expanding its service offering in North America with new locations in Sarnia in the Canadian province of Ontario and in Pottstown in the US State of Pennsylvania. Moreover, the Winterthur-based specialist for compressor solutions has also taken over Advanced Compressor Technology (ACT). Founded in 1991, the company is headquartered in Batavia in the US State of Illinois and also operates out of a branch in the Texan city of Pasadena.

With the new regional service center in Sarnia, Burckhardt Compression has taken a major step towards expending its activities in Canada, as the company writes in a press release. Across an area of 1,200 square meters, the facility offers support for sales, testing and maintenance. It is designed to enable faster on-site services throughout Eastern Canada, as well as rapid quotes and improved project turnaround times.

The new service center in Pottstown, situated one hour to the northwest of Philadelphia, also offers workshop and field services for maintenance, repairs and modernization of all types and brands of reciprocating compressors. It will provide support in relation to installations and commissioning, as well as emissions management. Moreover, specialist valve services for oxygen-rich environments and customized training schemes will also be available there.

With these two new service centers and the acquisition of ACT in September 2025, Burckhardt Compression is seeking to put in place a more comprehensive, integrated network in North America. According to the company, these developments underscore its long-term commitment to conducting business right across North America. ce/mm
