GEA extends US refrigeration service support

GERMANY/USA: GEA has opened a new industrial refrigeration service location in Patterson, California, to serve western USA.

The new branch is one of three GEA service locations, the others being York, Pennsylvania, and Pasadena, Texas. 

From the Patterson branch, GEA offers field service through maintenance, inspection, troubleshooting, installation and commissioning. Additionally, the already-up-and-running, temperature-controlled compressor rebuild space allows GEA’s highly skilled technicians to carefully manage sensitive equipment tolerances. 

Rebuild services are available for both GEA compressors and those from other manufacturers. Swift turnarounds of rebuilds from GEA’s entire product range are now possible at all three GEA service locations.

The address is 555 Baldwin Rd, Patterson, CA 95363, USA. Tel: +1 209-895-6300.
