With the launch of its Colorado Springs Training Center, Global Blade Services is redefining wind turbine blade repair education in North America. The facility combines OEM aligned expertise, DNV certified standards, advanced carbon repair capability and competency driven training to meet the growing demands of next generation composite technologies.
In 2024, Global Blade Services (GBS) marked a defining milestone in the advancement of wind turbine blade repair and composite materials training in North America with the opening of its state-of-the-art USA Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Founded by Mike and Shirin, the facility was established with a clear and ambitious objective: to bring world-class blade repair expertise, structured competency based training and internationally aligned quality standards to the United States wind energy market.
At a time when turbine blades are growing longer, lighter and more structurally complex than ever before, the need for highly trained, competency verified composite repair technicians has never been greater. In just over a year, the GBS USA Training Center has evolved from a bold concept into a nationally recognized center of excellence, helping redefine how blade repair training is delivered, validated and aligned to global certification frameworks.
