Ciserv Netherlands

Ciserv Netherlands was a subsidiary of Wärtsilä, which is a Finnish corporation that provides equipment and services to the marine and energy markets. The Ciserv brand was specifically focused on providing specialized services for ship repairs and maintenance. Ciserv Netherlands operated as part of a global network of service centers under the Wärtsilä umbrella, contributing to the company's capability to offer comprehensive support to its clients.

Wärtsilä has a broad portfolio that includes both manufacturing components and systems for various types of vessels and power plants, as well as offering lifecycle services to ensure the smooth operation and efficiency of these installations. The products and services cover everything from engines and propulsion systems to electrical systems and automation.

The Ciserv network, including Ciserv Netherlands, played a critical role in enhancing Wärtsilä's service capabilities by providing focused expertise and localized support, making it easier for customers in the maritime sector to get essential repairs and maintenance carried out promptly and effectively.

In 2005, Wärtsilä decided to rebrand and integrate Ciserv fully into the Wärtsilä Services brand, aiming to streamline operations and unify its service offerings under one global identity.
