Alba Power

What Alba Power does

Alba Power is an independent, Scotland-headquartered provider of maintenance, repair, overhaul, and field services for legacy aeroderivative gas turbines, power turbines, and marine turbines, specializing in engine types (RB211, Olympus, Avon, Spey, Tyne, and associated power turbine models such as SK30, RT48, RT56, RT62) for which OEM support is fading. Its core asset base is the world's largest stockholding of Avon and Olympus spare parts (over three million line items with full traceability), proprietary gas turbine test facilities with tolerances more stringent than OEM standards and a 100% test success rate, and a 24/7 global field service capability anchored by workshops in Scotland, Texas, Canada, and Abu Dhabi. The company also offers industrial control systems support, package renovation, consultancy, and decommissioning services, and in 2019 introduced a handheld Turbine App for engine data access and real-time spares support.

Alba Power's revenue model combines professional services (overhauls, repairs, field service, controls), hardware sales (spare parts, rotables, complete packages), and recurring revenue through multi-year long-term service agreements typically spanning 5-10 years, with quote-based pricing and no OEM license fees passed to customers. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales led by a small senior sales team, supplemented by an event-driven motion anchored on ADIPEC, PowerGen Asia, ME RoTIC, and ETN user group meetings, plus direct customer referrals from marquee accounts. Customers span oil and gas (Marathon Oil), nuclear (Bruce Power, $4.3M contract), power generation/utilities (Swedish National Public Utility, West Indies power generation), petrochemicals (decade-long US client renewed for another 10 years), and defense (UK Ministry of Defence, Royal Navy Type 42/22 marine Tyne support), with over 80% of revenue derived from outside the UK. The company was founded in 2000 by Terry Alderton, has grown to 101-250 employees, and was acquired by Swiss rotating-equipment conglomerate Sulzer in July 2019, now operating as a subsidiary with access to the parent's 180+ production and service sites.
