The independent full-scope multi-brand specialist Deutsche Windtechnik is entering the US market –
The high quality of service and flexible contract options provided by the company enable new optimization potential for US operators
Houston, Texas, USA / Bremen, Germany, April 24, 2018
Deutsche Windtechnik Inc. was established at the end of 2017 and is now active in the North American wind energy market. The goal of the experienced multi-brand specialist with European roots is to make the benefits of independent turbine maintenance available to US operators and investors. In particular, operators can benefit from the new, flexibly designed maintenance concepts and the savings potential that goes along with them.
With its decades of experience in Europe as a flexible partner for high-quality independent full service, Deutsche Windtechnik is now starting a new chapter in service history in the US: “Service companies currently active in the market often function as subcontractors for OEMs. By contrast, Deutsche Windtechnik is an independent full-service provider on equal footing, and with its strong multi-brand expertise, the company can offer completely new options for operators and investors,” said Melf Lorenzen, Managing Director of Deutsche Windtechnik Inc., describing the company’s successful launch. Matthias Brandt, Board Director at Deutsche Windtechnik AG, added: “The healthy competition stimulates the market, and this not only leads to lower prices but also to better service performance and new products.
Multi-brand expertise, service quality and flexibility are crucial
One key component of Deutsche Windtechnik’s business model is that it provides service for turbines from Vestas/NEG Micon, Siemens/AN Bonus, Nordex, Senvion, Fuhrländer and Gamesa. This means it can service almost all common turbine types, including most of the turbines installed in the US. On the other hand, the flexible maintenance contracts offered by Deutsche Windtechnik give operators decisive influence over the profitability of a project. Individually designed basic contracts, for example, give the operator the greatest possible influence over maintenance and repair processes at its wind farms. At the other end of the spectrum, minimum-risk full maintenance contracts give the customer an ‘all-round
carefree package’ with guaranteed availability, which can also include replacement of large components on request.
