Experience Sulzer: This is the motto with which our company celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2009. We want to show what the Sulzer name stands for. Our vision is to be a recognized leader in innovative, sustainable, engineered, and customer-focused solutions for performance-critical applications in six main markets: the oil and gas, hydrocarbon processing, power generation, pulp and paper, aviation, automotive and other selected industries. The focus of this anniversary publication is how Sulzer products and services provide solutions to make our customers more competitive. 

Since its founding in 1834, Sulzer has been a reliable partner, satisfying high expectations and delivering what it promises. From the beginning, Sulzer has transformed the latest engineering know-how into innovative solutions to serve customers’ needs. From very early on, Sulzer has taken a global approach, building a worldwide client base while establishing a multi-local presence. This is how Sulzer has become what it is today: a technology company that continually renews itself, resulting in leading positions in important global markets.

From the industrialization of the 19th century to the high-technology society of the 21st century, priorities and challenges have changed dramatically. In the past, Sulzer’s steam and diesel engines contributed significantly to these changes—replacing the need for heavy human labor with machinery. Today, the challenge is to satisfy an increasing demand for oil and gas, electricity, mobility and paper while ensuring that natural rescources are used efficiently in order to minimize the enviromental impact.

Reliability, innovation and global thinking remain essential for Sulzer to master the chalIanges of the future. In doing so, we thank our 12 500 employees for their sustained dedication and our clients around the world for their continued trust.
