SSB is now Availon.
The former SSB Service Inc. is now Availon Inc. following changes in the parent company, Availon GmbH. The new name derives itself from “Availability” and “On,” reflecting the company’s commitment to being available for its customers and keeping their turbines available.
“Our promise of availability demands that we are always poised for response. That means faster turnaround times, more maintenance services, greater availability of spare parts and components, more secure investments and new turbine upgrades,” says Availon CEO Ulrich Schomakers. “Our goal, as a global service provider, is to be more available to our clients in every way which, in turn, improves their wind turbine productivity.”
Availon Inc. remains a primary supplier of SSB Wind Systems and SSB Duradrive parts. However, the renaming denotes a clear separation from these companies. SSB Wind Systems provides electrical systems for wind turbines, and SSB Duradrive manufactures specific drive equipment. “Our new name provides better emphasis on our core offering, which is independent wind turbine maintenance services for the international market,” says Schomakers.
Availon Inc. specializes in parts and services for GE and Vestas turbines, but can often service other turbines. In addition to being a primary supplier for SSB and Duradrive parts, Availon Inc. is also an exclusive vendor for Bachmann, Leonard+Bauer, and Convertech parts. The Availon global portfolio includes spare parts supply and management, end of warranty inspections, individual turbine optimization, turbine upgrades, field services, remote monitoring, and operations and maintenance.
“Broadening the types of turbines we’re able to service is one more way we can help customers. With a more expansive network, we can continue to reduce response and traveling time. We can use worldwide synergies and resources for further rapid development, while maintaining a high level of customer service,” said Schomakers.
