With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, Oerlikon Fairfield has partnered with some of the top offshore companies and is backed by the engineering, design and application expertise to ensure that its customers’ equipment is powered with the right drive system. Oerlikon Fairfield is a key supplier to GustoMSC’s integrated jacking systems.
