Based in Baden, Switzerland, Pillay-Ramsamy will succeed Roland Schwarz, who has been appointed CEO of OMT, an Accelleron company specializing in fuel injection. Klaus Heim, current CEO of OMT, will retire at the end of September 2026.
“We are very pleased to welcome Ravin to Accelleron,” said Daniel Bischofberger, CEO of 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-Ramsay joins Accelleron from Sulzer, where he currently serves as Division President Services and is a member of the Executive Committee. Previously, he held several senior leadership positions within Sulzer’s Services division across EMEA and Asia Pacific.

This leadership change is significant for Accelleron, which serves customers in more than 100 locations across over 50 countries. The Service Division is crucial to the company’s operations, providing maintenance, upgrades, and digital solutions for turbochargers and other heavy-duty equipment. With Pillay-Ramsay's extensive background in industrial services and his experience in leading global service organizations, the company aims to enhance its service offerings and drive growth in the marine and energy sectors.
