Deutsche Windtechnik has established its new subsidiary, Deutsche Windtechnik Belgium.
The business will offer the Belgian wind market operations and maintenance (O&M) independence from manufacturers.
The business unit in Belgium will start servicing fifteen Vestas V80 turbines at various Belgian sites.
Geert Timmers, Managing Director of Deutsche Windtechnik’s Netherlands location, will oversee the operations of the new unit.
He said: “We are very happy to offer our independent service in the Belgian market.
“Up till now, turbine manufacturers have dominated the service market in Belgium.
“Deutsche Windtechnik’s flexible range of services will open the Belgian market and this will benefit Belgian operators, who finally have a real choice regarding their service provider.”
Deutsche Windtechnik Belgium caters to multi-brand wind park operators, offering services ranging from basic maintenance to full maintenance.
As a multi-brand specialist, the company brings two decades of hands-on experience with turbines from Vestas, Siemens, Enercon, Nordex and Senvion.
Timmers added: “Our comprehensive technological competence and flexibility set us apart.
“We achieve this through effective cooperation between our international competence centres.
“The already existing service infrastructure enables seamless coordination and rapid response to our Belgian clients’ needs.
“For example, our German unit manages 24/7 remote data monitoring and troubleshooting.
“For now, deployment planning for the Belgian service teams and office management will be organised from the Netherlands.”
