The PrimeServ Academy in Augsburg, Germany, is Everllence’s hub for training on large, medium-speed engines and turbocharger. Now, in response the growing demand for training driven by new technological developments, the company has increasing the facility’s floor space from around 1,700 to approximately 3,000 square meters. The official opening took place as part of the Technology Fair, an annual customer event that Everllence recently held for the sixth occasion and that had 50 participants.

Uwe Lauber, CEO of Everllence, said: “With the expansion of this PrimeServ Academy, we are investing 6.5 million euros in the future of the site and strengthening Augsburg as a key training center for our customers and employees from the global, PrimeServ after-sales organization.”

Holger Gehring, head of PrimeServ Academy Augsburg, said: “The extended PrimeServ Academy now also places a special focus on our expanded engine portfolio, which is increasingly shifting toward climate-neutral fuels such as green methanol and methane. New fuels bring new challenges for our customers. We support them, not just with our future-oriented technologies but also by working closely with them throughout our engines’ entire lifecycles with tailored training.”

In recent years, an average of around 1,500 people annually have participated in training at the Augsburg site. Participants are evenly split between customers and employees from Everllence’s global, after-sales organization.

In addition to the demand for training driven by technological developments in engines, automation and injection systems, and turbochargers, there continues to be strong demand for hands-on courses for older installations. As part of the expansion, a larger workshop, four additional training rooms and a dedicated area for online formats were added to existing facilities. This enables Everllence to offer training on new and future technologies while significantly increasing capacity for existing ones.
