Australia: Germany-based Flender has opened a new production and services centre in Sydney, New South Wales. Its product offering will include Flender’s gearboxes and couplings range for industrial applications, including cement plants.
CEO Andreas Evertz said “For both our wind [turbine drives] and industrial business we see enormous growth potential on the continent. To reach the goals of the Paris climate agreement we must not only ramp up renewable energy capacities, but also transform our industries towards sustainability. This includes recycling and establishing a circular economy. Our workshops are perfectly equipped for servicing and refurbishing the existing installed base, not only for our own fleet but all gearbox types in the market.”
