Co Cavan-headquartered renewable energy services and development business Galetech Group has bought a 50% stake in Blade Technical Services (BTS), which provides wind turbine blade inspection and repair services.
Galetech said today's deal marks the latest expansion to its fast-growing Operations division, which provides integrated renewable energy services to clients across Ireland and the UK.
BTS will join a number of other subsidiary companies within the Galetech Operations division, including Adamas, Optigear and Optinergy.
Founded in 2014, BTS provides blade inspection services, complex structural repair, leading-edge protection, and statutory inspections to wind energy clients.
Darren Sherry, CEO of Galetech Group, said the company's strategy over the last number of years has been to consolidate a leading portfolio of renewable energy services businesses into its Operations division, so it can provide an integrated service offering to asset owners across Ireland and the UK.
"The acquisition of a 50% stake in BTS is just the latest step in that strategic journey. BTS's expertise in blade services and statutory inspections is an excellent complement to our existing operations," Mr Sherry added.
Koen Busschots, founder and Managing Director of BTS, said that becoming part of Galetech Group gives BTS the scale to do more and move faster, without losing the quality and responsiveness that its clients value.
"With Galetech’s support and expertise, we can deliver larger campaigns with stronger quality assurance and the same uncompromising focus on safety," he added.
