NEUQUÉN, ARGENTINA (October 23, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) has officially opened a new Repair Service Center located in Parque Industrial Centenario, in Argentina’s Neuquén Province. This facility represents the company’s first dedicated aeroderivative gas turbine repair center in Latin America and is set to enhance service capabilities across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay.
The new center is designed to significantly improve maintenance response times for operators in the region. By enabling local repairs, customers will no longer need to ship turbine components خارج Latin America, a process that previously could extend delivery timelines by up to a year. The localized approach is expected to streamline outage support and reduce operational downtime.
“This initiative is part of GE Vernova’s broader effort to expand its global gas turbine repair network,” said Luis Leal, General Manager of Aero Services Americas at GE Vernova’s Gas Power division. “By integrating lean methodologies with advanced repair technologies, the Centenario facility is positioned to establish a new standard for service efficiency. It will allow us to better support our customers while ensuring long-term competitiveness of existing equipment across southern Latin America.”
Initially, the site will provide maintenance services for LMS100 turbines, with plans to extend capabilities to include LM2500 and LM6000 platforms by the end of 2026. Establishing local repair operations is also expected to reduce logistical constraints related to import and export processes, which have historically impacted service timelines in the region.
GE Vernova employs approximately 6,600 people across Latin America and continues to deliver solutions aimed at improving energy reliability, affordability, and sustainability throughout the region.
