Composite Technology Corporation (CTC) and TECO-Westinghouse Motor Company have announced the signing of a Strategic Alliance Agreement between the two companies.
The agreement sets out the intentions of the companies in the areas of manufacture, research & development, and regarding service & maintenance activities within North America. The proposed manufacturing agreement provides for TECO-Westinghouse to manufacture the DeWind D8.2 turbine for CTC for distribution to the North American market. The DeWind D8.2 will be assembled at the ISO 9000 certified TECO-Westinghouse factory in Round Rock, Texas. The agreement also outlines a service agreement that will utilise the DeWind expertise along with the TECO-Westinghouse service infrastructure to provide O&M services for the Wind Industry in North America. DeWind and TECO-Westinghouse recognise the need to be able to deliver a customer focused service organisation for the wind turbine market not only for the new DeWind turbines but also for other manufacturers’ turbines in the market.
