Flender’s integration of Wärtsilä’s services division marks the beginning of a new operational phase in South America. This strategic move consolidates the presence of the mechanical transmission specialist in one of the fastest-growing regions for renewable energy. With the commissioning of its facilities in Cabo de Santo Agostinho, the organization guarantees immediate support to an installed base of turbines that demand highly complex technical solutions.
Technical Capacity and Regional Scope
After completing the transfer of assets, the company now has a 5,000 square meter infrastructure designed for the maintenance of industrial and wind gearboxes. The plant features advanced testing systems that allow for the evaluation of state-of-the-art components. Likewise, the incorporation of Wärtsilä’s specialized personnel ensures a smooth transition in customer service, maintaining the quality standards that the industry demands for the operation of large-scale wind turbines.
Optimizing Lifecycle with Flender’s Winergy Service360
Through the implementation of its Winergy Service360 portfolio, the company aims to maximize the availability of energy assets in Brazilian territory. This approach is not limited to corrective repairs but encompasses comprehensive support for couplings, generators, and industrial gear units. Local proximity significantly reduces response times, a decisive factor for the profitability of wind farms and industrial plants in the Southern Cone.
Strategic Leadership in the South American Market
Tommy Nielsen, Head of Wind, has expressed his enthusiasm for the incorporation of a passionate team that strengthens the company’s global network. Antti Turunen’s vision, for his part, highlights that the previous collaboration with the service partner has facilitated being operational from day one. This expansion allows for a deeper understanding of the local market and the offering of solutions adapted to the specific needs of the region, reinforcing Flender’s competitiveness internationally.
