Trusted Engine Repair & In-Place Machining Services
Golten Service has been a global leader in critical engine repair, in-place machining, and environmental compliance solutions for over 80 years. Founded in 1940, our expertise stems from decades of hands-on experience in marine, industrial, and power generation sectors. Our team of 1,000+ engineers and technicians operates in 14 countries, delivering 24/7 emergency response and planned maintenance to minimize asset downtime. We pioneered in-situ machining techniques that eliminate costs associated with equipment disassembly and transport. Our commitment to innovation is evident in our green technology division, which specializes in ballast water treatment and emissions compliance retrofits.We maintain global service and distribution facilities for engine control systems from Woodward, Heinzmann, and Regulateurs Europa. Our deep technical knowledge extends to troubleshooting catastrophic engine failures, crankshaft repairs, and laser alignment. With a focus on precision and speed, we serve shipowners, power plants, and industrial clients worldwide. Our independence ensures unbiased solutions tailored to client needs, not manufacturer constraints. This combination of heritage, technical excellence, and global reach makes us a trusted partner for asset-critical operations.

Services
In-Place Machining
Our in-place machining services perform precision repairs directly at equipment locations, eliminating disassembly and transport. This approach reduces downtime by up to 70% while maintaining exacting tolerances. We handle complex tasks like crankshaft grinding and line boring for marine, power generation, and industrial clients globally.
Crankshaft Repair
We specialize in crankshaft annealing, in-situ machining, and complete replacements using patented techniques developed over 80 years. Our mobile workshops handle emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance for 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines across maritime and industrial sectors.
Green Technology Retrofits
Our green technology division implements ballast water treatment systems, emissions controls, and biogas RNG installations. Using 3D scanning and turnkey project management, we help fleets comply with IMO regulations while improving operational efficiency through sustainable practices.
Engine Diagnostics
Our engineers provide root-cause analysis for engine failures using advanced diagnostic tools and decades of field experience. We offer electronic control system testing, liner wear measurement, and performance optimization services for diesel, gas, and dual-fuel engines.
Laser Alignment
We employ state-of-the-art laser alignment systems to ensure optimal equipment performance across marine and industrial applications. Our services cover shaft alignment, turbine rotor positioning, and machinery base chocking to maintain operational efficiency and reduce wear.
