GEA Global Marine Service Network – strong local support within a global organization
To get the most out of your installation, GEA Separation not only has a worldwide network of 17 repair workshops, but also offers you specialized marine service support. Our well-trained local service professionals are always within your reach and offer qualified support for a wide range of service jobs and assist you with maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, inspection or consulting. Within our repair network, more than 150 employees are dedicated to delivering the highest quality at the shortest possible timeframe. True to our maxim: We always focus on the performance of your equipment – over the entire life cycle and in response to all your challenges and questions.
Top quality GEA Repair Service…
...means that all workshops worldwide are certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and that a specially trained product safety officer monitors compliance with all necessary safety and functional requirements at each location.
All repair work is carried out in compliance with strict and internationally uniform GEA norms and on the basis of defined repair drawings. Only original spare parts are used. A fully equipped GEA service workshop offers the service of balancing including wet overspeed run, which is mandatory when using new load-bearing bowl parts.
All bowl parts are cleaned with a non-corrosive and non-abrasive cleaning agent to a bright metallic surface. Load-bearing bowl parts must be subjected to a dye penetrant inspection in accordance with GEA norms so that corrosion and crack formations become visible.
GEA Marine Service Organization
At GEA, we strongly believe in local support from a global organization. To fully understand your service demand without any misunderstandings, we support you in your own country and in your own local language.
Local offices are supported by Regional Service Hubs, which in turn are supported by experts from our headquarters in Germany. This allows us to ensure a high quality and quick response to all your questions. The hub organization even operates on a “follow-the-sun” principle, which means we are active 24 hours a day to ensure your service needs are met.
