Kinetek to Showcase Supply Side Capability to Large and Small Wind Turbine Manufacturers at WINDPOWER 2009
Deerfield, IL, May 1, 2009
Kinetek, a global leader in the design and manufacture of motors, generators, controls, and motion control systems for diverse industrial and commercial applications, will promote its strong motor and system manufacturing capabilities at the WINDPOWER 2009 show in Chicago, May 4 – 7, 2009. Kinetek will showcase products for small and large wind turbines, including 50Hz and 60Hz yaw motors that are now in production for major wind turbine manufacturers.
Randy Bays, Kinetek President and Chief Operating Officer, is excited about introducing Kinetek to the wind turbine manufacturers who will be in attendance at WINDPOWER 2009. “Kinetek is a major manufacturer with world class customers who have high expectations of quality, reliability and performance. We’ve continually met these expectations in sectors like elevator, material handling and medical, and have won substantial new business in the Wind sector since entering it in 2007.”
Kinetek’s current product line, including yaw and pitch motors, cooling fan motors and cable hoists will be featured in Kinetek’s booth (#1868) at WINDPOWER 2009, said Mike Arnold, Sales Engineer for Kinetek’s Renewable Energy Group. “This dynamic venue provides a great opportunity to follow up on our success at the 2008 Houston show, and the March 2009 European Wind Energy show in Marseille, France. This is an exciting industry that is very receptive to our core philosophy: that Kinetek is focused on designing custom-engineered products to meet customer requirements.”
Kinetek is accelerating company-wide efforts to capture additional share in the wind energy market, said Bays. “The U.S. now has the most installed wind power capacity of any country, and projections suggest wind energy will account for 20% of the U.S. electricity supply by 2030. This growth will create tremendous opportunities for manufacturing companies that supply the components that drive the industry. We have long been a leading supplier of motors, generators, and motion control systems for clean energy applications, and are well-positioned to be a key supplier in the U.S. and global wind energy sectors.”
