Sulzer announces the acquisition of Davies and Mills, a leading electromechanical services (EMS) provider based in Bahrain. With this acquisition, Sulzer expands its regional footprint in the Middle East to six service locations, welcoming 53 former Davies and Mills employees to the Sulzer family in Bahrain. The acquisition was concluded in January 2025, bringing exceptional expertise to Sulzer’s portfolio.

Sulzer continues to invest in the Middle East, adding its sixth service center in six years, significantly expanding its regional footprint. The expansion underscores Sulzer’s commitment to establishing full-service, in-region capabilities supporting the needs of industrial customers. The new facility offers maintenance and repair services for rotating equipment— including generators, alternators, motors, and pumps—while strengthening its footprint in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
