Turbotec - Pistolis Ltd is a specialized technical service provider deeply integrated into the global maritime and industrial sectors. Established in 1980 and headquartered in the Perama ship repair zone near Piraeus, Greece, the company has spent decades developing expertise in the maintenance, repair, and reconditioning of exhaust gas turbochargers. As a dedicated engineering firm, it focuses on ensuring the operational efficiency and reliability of forced induction systems used in marine propulsion and auxiliary power generation.
The company operates from a purpose-built, multi-story industrial facility designed to handle heavy rotating machinery. This workshop serves as the central hub for complex engineering tasks, housing specialized equipment for chemical cleaning, ultrasonic inspection, and precision machining. A critical component of their technical workflow is dynamic balancing, a process essential for stabilizing high-speed rotors to prevent vibration and mechanical failure. The facility maintains a comprehensive inventory of spare parts, including bearings, oil pumps, nozzle rings, and turbine blades, allowing for immediate response to routine maintenance schedules or urgent breakdown requirements.
Beyond its domestic capabilities in Greece, Turbotec - Pistolis Ltd maintains a strategic international presence to support merchant fleets trading globally. Recognizing the time-sensitive nature of shipping, the organization has extended its service infrastructure to include support stations in key maritime hubs such as Shanghai, China. This logistical network enables the deployment of riding squads and technical teams to vessels anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day. These mobile engineers are trained to perform onboard overhauls and emergency repairs during voyages, reducing the need for extended port stays and minimizing commercial downtime for vessel operators.
The firm’s technical scope encompasses the complete lifecycle of turbocharging units, from minor seal replacements to extensive retrofitting and re-blading of damaged rotors. By adhering to rigorous quality control standards, the company ensures that reconditioned components meet original manufacturer specifications for tolerance and performance. Through its combination of workshop precision and rapid global mobility, Turbotec - Pistolis Ltd functions as a vital support partner for shipping companies, helping to maintain the fuel efficiency and mechanical integrity of diesel engines across the maritime industry.
