Our People
We’re experienced people that fix BRUSH machines all over the world, with access to the best equipment and state-of-the-art workshops.
We are different in scale and focus. Our expertise is concentrated in a small team, with an agile structure that is supported by a great ecosystem of workshops, equipment and talent.
We are not a large company with vast resources and thousands of employees like GE or Siemens, or even Brush.
Because we are small, we provide a bespoke and personal service, but can only work with a limited number of customers. This is the kind of work we do:
We love challenges: do what other’s said was impossible to fix.
We support people: who are left unattended in remote locations.
We help in emergencies: to bring back power in the wake of natural disasters
