Remanufacture first

If net zero matters, replacement cannot be the default. Remanufacture restores performance, cuts embodied carbon and extends asset life. It reduces waste, shortens lead times and strengthens supply chain resilience. It is the smarter way to maintain wind assets.

What is remanufacture?

The wind industry is following the same proven path as Aerospace and Oil and Gas. For decades, those sectors have shown that advanced engineering and disciplined processes can deliver high performance, high integrity remanufacturing at scale.

But not all reuse is equal.

There is a clear difference between basic repair and true remanufacture. Repair addresses a visible failure. Remanufacture restores the component to an equivalent or improved standard compared to new.

Our approach is lifecycle focused. We do not simply replace what has failed. We assess the full condition of the asset and replace or rework components that are likely to fail within the next operational cycle. The result is a fully restored component with extended service life and reduced risk.

In many cases, remanufacture includes performance upgrades. Higher specification materials, improved tolerances and enhanced assemblies can deliver a component that outperforms the original.

Where repeat failure mechanisms are known, redesign takes this further. We engineer out the root cause, improve durability and reduce in service failure rates.

This is not short term repair. It is engineered life extension, aligned to net zero and built for long term performance.

Innovation Centre

Engineered rebuilds to a defined standard, with full traceability.

Our remanufacture process

Assessment and inspection

We review the failure mode, operating conditions and critical tolerances, then complete strip-down and dimensional checks.

Engineering review and scope

We define the remanufacture route, including required machining, replacement parts and any upgrades or improvements via our Technical Services team.

Restore and rebuild

Critical interfaces are restored to specification, with wear components replaced where required.

Quality control and documentation

Components are reassembled, checked against agreed requirements, then released with supporting documentation and traceability.

Benefits of choosing remanufactured over new

Lower cost than fit new without compromising performance

Shorter lead times by keeping valueable components in circualation

Reduced waste and carbon by avoiding unnecessary new manufacturers

Better lifecycle support for ageing fleets where obsolescence is a risk

A practical route to sustainability that supports operational targets

FAQs

Refurbishment typically restores a component to usable condition. Remanufacture is a more controlled, engineering-led rebuild designed to restore performance to a defined specification, often including machining and replacement of critical wear elements.

We assess the component condition, failure mode and critical tolerances during inspection. If remanufacture is not technically or commercially viable, we will harvest as many reusable components as possible for future use. 

Where specifications are available, we work to defined tolerances and performance requirements agreed during scoping. Our focus is on delivering reliable, repeatable performance in service.

Our business model is to hold remanufactured parts in stock to minimise lead time. Following sale, customers are responsible for returning defective parts to maintain the circular economy loop. This ensures a proactive approach to parts supply and ensuring availability. 

Yes. Remanufacture is often the best option when OEM supply is constrained, parts are discontinued, or lead times make replacement unrealistic.

All of our parts are serialised which means we can detail its journey from defective to remanufacture. 

All of our remanufactured parts come fully warranted as equivalent to new.
