On Wednesday, 21 February, 2018, WINDSOURCING.COM together with Sika Deutschland GmbH welcomed customers in Hamburg to the product training for the new corrosion protection coating SikaCor® RepaCor SW 1000.
SikaCor® RepaCor SW 1000 was developed in a research project, and promises a significantly simpler, faster and more economical on-site repair of wind turbines. As a specialist dealer for the wind energy industry, WINDSOURCING.COM was selected by Sika as exclusive distribution partner for SikaCor® RepaCor SW 1000 in the aftersales service market for wind turbines in Europe. WINDSOURCING.COMorganized the product training together with the manufacturer Sika Germany with which they address customers in the wind energy industry.
The kick-off event on the evening before as well as the product training took place in the Crown Plaza Hotel close to the Alster lake in the city centre of Hamburg, and addressed service companies occupied with the maintenance and repair of on and offshore wind turbines.
The goal of the customer product training was to teach customers not only about the features of SikaCor® RepaCor SW 1000, but also how best to achieve the outcome they’re looking for when using the product for their maintenance and repair works of on- and offshore wind turbines. The training opened with a product presentation about SikaCor® SW 1000 RepaCor and its repair concept and passed over into a practical part where the participants tested the product in areas such as surface preparation, handling of the cartridge and static mixer, handling of the cartridge gun, processing SikaCor® SW 1000 RepaCor with brush and spatula, and professional re-closing.
Amongst others Christian Schulte, Managing Director of Windspektrum GmbH and his team participated in the event: “My team and I really liked the product training with WINDSOURCING.COM and Sika. The product innovation SikaCor® RepaCor SW 1000 was presented professionally. Moreover we were able to test the product extensively in practical exercises and ask the trainers all questions that came up regarding the product and its application and use. Also networking at the kick-off event on the evening before did not fall too short at all.”
Due to the success of the event, more product trainings are in planning and will be communicated soon. Customers who are interested in SikaCor® SW 1000 RepaCor can contact WINDSOURCING.COM for further product and price information.
