Bitzer selects first Nordic service centre

GERMANY/SWEDEN: German refrigeration and air conditioning compressor manufacturer Bitzer has appointed Kompressorteknik Sweden AB as its first Authorised Service Centre (ASC) in the Nordic region. 

The deal will provide Bitzer’s Nordic customers with direct access to its global service, maintenance and spare parts network. 

Authorised Service Centres offer the repair of Bitzer compressors and have original Bitzer spare parts and oils permanently available in stock. 

Kompressorteknik Sweden AB was founded in the late nineties, offering service and overhaul of compressors. “Our key strategy is to understand the real demands of all customers and to try all possible ways to meet and even exceed expectations,” said Kompressorteknik Sweden CEO Peter Wassberg.
