History

The original company, Pumpcare, was formed in 1982 as an independent service provider supporting pumping equipment in the local area.

In 1988 the company was acquired by Sulzer Pumps to act as its service facility supporting the UKCS offshore oil and gas market. It was at this stage the first phase of the current specialised service facility was completed.

In 1994 Sulzer Pumps and Wood Group agreed to create a joint venture company, Sulzer Wood, aimed at providing market leading differentiated service solutions to our customers. This meant that we were in a position to be able to draw on the unique expertise and capabilities of both parent companies.

This led to an increased demand for our services as a result of which the second phase of the facility development was instigated thereby doubling our capacity. 

Since that point Sulzer Wood has continued to be successful and grown substantially both in terms of business volume, market share and in numbers of employees.

Phase three of the facility development was completed in September 2006, it now comprises of a 5,600m² purpose built rotating machinery service centre and specialist inventory management capability.

This allied to our team of dedicated and specialist personnel has led us to now being the leading provider of pump and gas compression service solutions to the local market and are well positioned to continue the success story that commenced over 25 years ago….
