Burckhardt Compression names Martin Zingg president of services division

Burckhardt Compression has appointed Martin Zingg as president of its Services Division, effective April 1, 2026, marking a leadership transition within one of the company’s core business segments.

Zingg will succeed Rainer Duebi, who is stepping down from his role as president of the Services Division. Duebi will remain with Burckhardt Compression in a new position, which the company said will be communicated at a later date.

With the appointment, Zingg will also become a member of Burckhardt Compression’s executive management team.

Zingg brings more than 20 years of international leadership experience in industrial services and energy-related businesses. Most recently, he served as president and group CEO of Leister, a Switzerland-based technology company. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership positions at GE Power and Alstom, where he led global gas turbine services businesses with full profit-and-loss responsibility and completed more than a decade of international leadership assignments.

He holds a Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering from EPFL and completed his master’s thesis at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Fabrice Billard, CEO of Burckhardt Compression, thanked Duebi for his contributions to the company’s service organization.

“We sincerely thank Rainer Duebi for his outstanding leadership and dedication in shaping our Services Division into a global powerhouse,” Billard said. “We are glad to continue to leverage his long-standing experience in a new role.”

Billard said Zingg’s background positions him well to lead the division’s next phase of development.

“At the same time, we are excited to welcome Martin Zingg to Burckhardt Compression,” he said. “His proven track record in leading global service organizations and his deep industry expertise will be invaluable as we further strengthen our service offering and customer partnerships worldwide.”

The Services Division is a key growth area for Burckhardt Compression, supporting the company’s global installed base across gas compression markets, including energy, industrial and emerging low-carbon applications.
