Australia plays a significant role in the global ramp up of renewable energies. In view of this, German drive train specialist Flender further expands production and service capacities on the continent by opening a new facility in Sydney.

The new facility sets the industry standard for customer service in these branches such as mining, cement, harbor equipment, while Flender’s gearboxes and couplings continue to power some of Australian industries’ heaviest machines.  Flender Group CEO Andreas Evertz: “For both, our wind and industrial business we see enormous growth potential on the continent. To reach the goals from 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.”  The new Sydney facility will be over 1,800 square meters and has the structural capacity for a 50-tonne crane. It will have all equipment required to deliver OEM standard to customers. Flender will be able to repair gearboxes up to 40 tons as well as equipment like main shafts for wind turbines, lube systems, fluid couplings and brakes.

Sustainable, Cost-Effective, and Straightforward

By switching to coating-free gearmotors, SEW‑Eurodrive is taking an important step toward making its product portfolio more sustainable. With no paint or coatings involved, production costs are reduced during manufacture and components are easier to recycle in the circular economy at the end of the product life cycle. These gearmotors are therefore an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution for many drive tasks.
