Accelleron, a global technology leader in turbocharging, fuel injection, and digital solutions for heavy-duty applications, has announced the appointment of Ravin Pillay-Ramsamy as President of its Service Division and member of the Executive Committee, effective October 1, 2026. He will be based in Baden, Switzerland, and will succeed Roland Schwarz, who has been appointed CEO of OMT, an Accelleron company specializing in fuel injection. Klaus Heim, the current CEO of OMT, will retire at the end of September 2026.
The leadership change comes as Accelleron continues to emphasize its service business as a key driver of growth and customer value. Daniel Bischofberger, CEO of Accelleron, expressed enthusiasm about the appointment: “We are very pleased to welcome Ravin to Accelleron. He brings extensive international leadership experience in industrial services, engineering, business development and M&A, combined with deep expertise in power generation, oil and gas, and industrial infrastructure. His proven track record in leading global service organizations will be highly valuable as we continue to strengthen our service business and create value for our customers worldwide.”
Pillay-Ramsamy joins Accelleron from Sulzer, where he currently serves as Division President Services and is a member of the Executive Committee. During his tenure at Sulzer, he held several senior leadership positions within the Services division across EMEA and Asia Pacific. He began his career in the United States at Turbine Services Ltd., where he served as Business Development Director and Vice President Engineering. His educational background includes a Global MBA from Columbia Business School and London Business School, a Master’s degree in Management and Finance from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University.
The appointment is part of a broader transition within Accelleron's leadership. Roland Schwarz, who has led the Service Division, will take the helm at OMT, a company specialized in fuel injection. Klaus Heim, the outgoing CEO of OMT, will retire after a long career. These moves signal Accelleron's strategic intent to bolster its service offerings and fuel injection capabilities, both critical to its mission of accelerating sustainability in the marine and energy industries.
Accelleron, listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange (ACLN), serves customers in more than 100 locations across over 50 countries. With more than 3,200 employees, the company is continuously innovating to deliver best-in-class products, services, and solutions that are mission-critical for the energy transition. The appointment of Pillay-Ramsamy, with his deep expertise in industrial services and infrastructure, is expected to support Accelleron's efforts to enhance its global service network and drive customer-centric innovation.
The change takes effect at a time when the industry is increasingly focused on decarbonization and operational efficiency. Accelleron's turbocharging and digital solutions play a vital role in optimizing fuel consumption and reducing emissions for marine and energy applications. By strengthening its service division, the company aims to provide more comprehensive support to its customers, ensuring they can maximize the performance and longevity of their equipment while meeting regulatory requirements.
