Katwind Enerji: Pioneering Wind Energy Solutions with Expertise and Innovation
For the last 13 years, Katwind Enerji (www. katwind.com) has been at the forefront of the wind energy sector, specializing in composite repair services for wind turbine blades and steel structures. Our commitment to excellence and sustainable energy solutions has been a driving force in our growth and global impact.
Comprehensive Project Management Expertise
Beyond repair services, Katwind Enerji excels in project and site management within the wind energy sector. Our skilled teams have been instrumental in realizing over 2000 MW of wind energy projects nationally and internationally. Recently, despite placing second in a turnkey wind turbine procurement tender, we have been chosen by the winning company to manage site operations, affirming our site management expertise.
Strategic Growth and Market Expansion
Our service division aims to generate profit, expand into new markets, and reduce environmental pollution from fossil fuels. Operating with 10 teams, our workforce increases to 40 technicians during peak seasons. While facing competition from both local and global firms, we leverage our niche expertise and strategic investments.
We have invested in man-basket cranes and high-access platforms to support growth, enhancing our capabilities for high-altitude projects. Partnering with a crane firm, we transferred equipment rights and secured long-term access to their fleet, ensuring we remain competitive.
Preparing for International Markets
As we expand, we are getting our teams ready for international operations. We have made substantial progress in negotiations with a German company, to provide services in Germany’s wind energy sector. We are enhancing our personnel's language skills and ensuring they meet EU qualifications, aiming to have at least two teams operational in Germany by next year.
Innovation Through Robotics and Technology
Katwind Enerji leads the way in robotic R&D initiatives, developing robots for autonomous blade and tower cleaning. We are also exploring autonomous equipment for turbine tower maintenance with ongoing R&D efforts.
We invested in a cloud-based software solution to improve operational efficiency, enabling our employees to log detailed task information from mobile devices and generating valuable data for our operations.
Resilience and Global Reach
Katwind Energy has provided project management and maintenance services across several countries, including Germany, Jordan, Croatia, Pakistan, Japan, Morocco, and Ukraine. Despite the ongoing conflict, we maintain our presence in Ukraine, securing agreements with two major turbine manufacturers and negotiating further contracts with the country's largest wind energy investment company. Additionally, we are exploring opportunities in Uzbekistan to expand our global presence.
Expertise in Material Supply
Katwind Enerji has developed significant know-how in wind blade repair materials. Through our partnership with Rasswind (https://www.rasswind.com/en/-products-k), we meet material requests through a specialized web portal. Recently, we fulfilled three requests from Pakistan and Chile and received one from Morocco while actively pursuing new business prospects..
