Flender, a global manufacturer specializing in mechanical and electrical drive technology, has certified Atlanta Gear Works as a Flender Service Partner.
A 125-year-old company headquartered in Bocholt, Germany, Flender offers a wide range of gear units, couplings and generators for various heavy industries, with a particular focus on the wind energy sector. Its services include installation, commissioning and maintenance.
Atlanta Gear Works is known to many Flender customers, having repaired and rebuilt numerous Flender gearboxes over the past 35 years.
“We are very familiar with what is required to rebuild a Flender gearbox having had many years of experience,” said Craig Massa, Atlanta Gear Works, vice president-sales.
To become certified as a Flender Service Partner, the company underwent a rigorous two-day audit that covered everything from its environmental, health and safety plans to all of its manufacturing procedures and operations, including data control, training and even the cleanliness of the facility.
“Flender is highly regarded worldwide and is known for high quality and dependability,” said Atlanta Gear Works President Jack Conway. “This partnership proves our expertise.”
