The Brazil Service Center

The Brazil Service Center was built to help GE meet the needs of its growing aeroderivative gas turbine customer base in Latin America. GE’s

gas turbines help businesses and communities benefit from the ability of natural gas to deliver clean, efficient distributed energy.

GE’s, US$10 million facility in Petropolis is dedicated to providing localized service for the aeroderivative and oil and gas sectors in Latin

America. Within the region, Brazil is one of the world’s fastest growing economies, havin an increased demand for power generation. GE’s new

Brazil Service Center will help ensure that GE’s customers in the region have reliable power generation equipment for industrial, municipal and

mechanical applications.

GE’s Brazil Service Center opening is another example of how GE is broadening its global customer support capabilities—continuing

GE’s 90 years of growth in Brazil. It follows on the heels of a recent announcement that GE is enhancing its global business presence

with the opening of a multimillion Euro expansion of its aeroderivative gas turbine service center in Rheden, Netherlands.

As the first dedicated facility for servicing the aeroderivative fleet in Brazil, GE’s Brazil Service Center is located in the city of Petropolis,

in the state of Rio de Janeiro, on 1.9 acres of land, and it services natural gas, liquid fuel, biofuels and sugarcane-based ethanol-fired

machines. The 2,044 square-meter building provides the following benefits:

Services and logistics processes

In-country shop and component repair capabilities as applicable (LM2500/LM6000)

Complex assembly support

100+ unit capability in five years

Addresses customer localization requirements—engine and component repairs and future localized equipment content

The new facility provides “Level 4” service1

, including full module and component repair, for the power

generation industry, as well as for the country’s growing oil and gas sector.

GE’s on-condition maintenance philosophy allows the

condition of your engine to dictate maintenance activities. Our
