MAN expands service network in North America

MAN Diesel recently celebrated the official opening of its newest service centre in Seattle, Washington, USA to further expand its PrimeServ network in North America.

The newly renovated, 1,800 m2 workshop and 400 m2 office space will handle customer requests for all basic repair and service requirements, and include complete overhaul facilities for fuel equipment and turbochargers. Plans are already in place to grow the size of the facility in accordance with customer demand.

“This location in the North West Pacific area is an important step in further extending MAN Diesel?s ability to reach customers on the US West Coast,” says Jesper Th. Petersen, Technical Director of MAN Diesel PrimeServ Seattle. “From Seattle we can easily reach all kinds of vessel, from small fishing boat to large container ship, calling at any port from Portland, Oregon to Alaska?s Aleutian Islands, and provide a timely and professional after-sales service.”

PrimeServ can now provide its customers with service over the full range of its two- and four-stroke engines, as well as for all MAN Diesel turbochargers and propeller gears,” Petersen concludes. With the opening of MAN Diesel PrimeServ Seattle, MAN Diesel now operates five service centres in North America, joining the existing facilities in New Jersey, Fort Lauderdale, Houston and Los Angeles.
