LM Wind Power Service & Logistics is proud to announce the opening of our North American regional service center in Abilene, Texas. This center will serve as the southern operations base for our wind turbine blade repair business with wind farm installations in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico.
LM Wind Power Service & Logistics is part of the LM Wind Power Group which comprises also LM Wind Power Blades (former LM Glasfiber), a market leader in the wind power industry supplying rotor solutions to numerous wind turbine manufacturers in all main wind markets internationally. The newly created LM Wind Power Service & Logistics business offers inspection, repair, overhaul, preventive maintenance as well as blade logistics covering the full spectrum of service to wind turbine owners anywhere in the world.
VP, Service Americas, Robert Burger explains: "The new service center in Abilene, Texas is one of LM Wind Power's six fully staffed North American service centers. More than 90% of the installed base of North American wind turbines are within less than eight hours' drive for our skilled technicians from these six locations. This enables us to provide our customers with shorter response times and reduced mobilization fees for service calls."
