Under the agreement, Caterpillar will provide Vestas with cost-competitive remanufacturing services that will enable its components to meet the highest quality and reliability standards, while at the same time reducing the impact on the environment.
Vestas’ Spare Parts & Repair Business Unit will manage the collaboration, which will cover the remanufacture of minor components and sub-component repair in support of Vestas’ internal repair sites.
Cat Reman will use its expertise to remanufacture Vestas wind turbine components using its existing facilities, equipment and suppliers.
Remanufacturing will begin in Caterpillar’s North America facilities followed by facilities in Europe and Asia.
Remanufacturing reduces waste, minimizes the need for raw materials to produce new parts and supports both Caterpillar and Vestas in providing customers with the lowest life cycle cost over the life of a product.
