Camarillo, CA - June 11, 2009 - DEX®, a leader in supply chain logistics, today announced it has has gained 16 logistics, repair and refurbishment contracts for leading wind turbine operators across 7 countries since January 2009. DEX Renewables has rapidly established its position as one of Europe’s leading support companies for the renewables sector.

Established at the beginning of 2009, DEX  Renewables is a new division of DEX Europe, headquartered in Dublin.  DEX is an international specialist engineering company with a 30-year track record of providing optimal solutions for the Technology Supply Chain including logistics, repair, parts procurement and asset recovery services.  DEX operates in a number of high-tech industries including computer, industrial and medical equipment.  The company has global reach with a number of facilities in the US, Europe and Asia.  It counts dozens of Fortune 500 companies as customers.  The new division applies this world-leading expertise to the European renewable energy sector, initially focusing on wind turbine solutions.

“We spotted a real need for high quality engineering and logistics support in the wind turbine sector,” said Sean Keller, business unit director, DEX Renewables.

“Operators and power companies face a number of issues in ensuring 100% uptime and maintaining operational efficiency for their wind farms.  For example, the repair and refurbishment of out-of-warranty components and maintenance of electro-mechanical sub-systems can be a major headache. 

Our initial research into demand for these services has been bourne out by the fact that we have won 16 contracts in the space of six months.  The response from the renewables sector has been very positive and we plan to roll out a number of new value-added services over the next six months.”
