Accelleron opens new service station in Buenos Aires

Accelleron has opened a new, expanded service station in Buenos Aires, strengthening its local service capabilities for customers in Argentina’s energy and marine markets. The new facility replaces the previous service station and enhances Accelleron’s ability to deliver fast, reliable lifecycle services across its turbocharger portfolio.

The service station is located in the greater Buenos Aires industrial area and serves as Accelleron’s central service hub in Argentina. It supports customers operating gas and diesel engines in power generation, oil and gas, and marine applications, where availability, efficiency and lifecycle costs are critical.

The opening comes as demand for reliable and flexible energy solutions continues to increase in Argentina, driven by grid constraints, industrial activity and expanding oil and gas development.

One key driver is Vaca Muerta, one of the world’s largest unconventional oil and gas formations, where gas production has risen sharply in recent years.

Rising gas production and the need for decentralized, fast deployable power are supporting investments in compression, distributed generation and related infrastructure – applications in which high performance turbocharging and local service support play an important role.

In parallel, marine customers are increasingly focused on turbocharger upgrades and retrofits to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

“The new service station allows us to be closer to our customers and to respond faster to their needs,” said Marc Paredes, Area Manager South America at Accelleron. “It strengthens our service capabilities in Argentina and supports our customers as energy and marine markets continue to evolve.”

Accelleron, which was established as a standalone company following its spin off from ABB in 2022, has been present in Argentina for more than 40 years. The opening of the new Buenos Aires service station reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to the country and to supporting customers with advanced service solutions throughout the entire lifecycle of their equipment.

The inauguration of the facility took place on April 9 and was attended by customers and representatives from the energy and marine sectors, as well as officials from the Swiss Embassy and the Swiss‑Argentine Chamber of Commerce.
