Rope Access Sverige purchase builds on previous previous acquisitions
Turbine maintenance company Swire Renewable Energy (SRE) has acquired Rope Access Sverige AB, a Sweden-based blade repair specialist.
The acquisition builds on SRE’s previous acquisitions in the last 12 months; WPS in Sweden, Altitec Blade Services in the UK, and Obelisk in South Africa and Ireland.
Rope Access Sverige AB provides a range of core services, including blade inspections and repairs, on-site blade operations management, and a variety of safety trainings.
These capabilities will enhance SRE’s presence in its core Nordic, European and UK markets, SRE said.
"Acquiring Rope Access reinforces our determination to develop a world-class independent blade inspection, repair and maintenance division within our growing wind farm maintenance and services business across the Nordics, Europe and the UK", SRE CEO Ryan Smith said.
"Rope Access Sverige provides synergy and significant scale given our recent acquisitions of Altitec Blade Services in the UK, and also an expanded service footprint in the Nordics following our acquisition of WPS in Sweden this time last year”.
Rope Access Sverige CEO Niklas Andersson said "we look forward to integrating with the SRE business to increase the competitiveness of SRE’s expanded service offering, which will benefit existing Rope Access customers". |
