2020 was a year like no other. It provided us with both personal and professional challenges that we’ve never faced before.

The wind industry, like many other industries, rose to those challenges and to celebrate this, Wind Europe has recently launched a website presenting some of the success stories from 2020.

Sulzer Schmid is featured together with companies such as Acciona, Enercon and Ibedrola to present some of the highlights from the past year.

Looking back, we expanded our business and added six new countries to our portfolio. Further contracts were signed to serve customers in 25 countries on four continents during 2021.

During spring 2020 we kicked off and completed our biggest inspection campaign to date and inspected 1500 wind turbines for Vestas NCE in Scandinavia. The campaign took place during three months at the height of the first wave of Covid-19. To overcome challenges such as travel restrictions and social distancing, we quickly introduced an online pilot training program and went on to expanded our local partner network to serve a growing customer base in Europe, Australia, Asia and North America.

On the software side, we launched a new browser-based and even more powerful version of our 3DX Blade Platform to support our growing operation and customer base. By integrating all aspects of inspections in one place we provide a collaborative platform and an intuitive work process for all teams involved.
