REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE.
Repair and Maintenance
Repairing is better than replacing
Circular economy
Repairing and refurbishing components for wind and hydro turbines significantly reduces CO2 emissions: sustainability at the core of Acebron Group.
What do we do at Acebron Group to reduce our carbon footprint? We repair and refurbish components so that we can reuse up to 70% of the materials compared to a new item. According to industry studies, a refurbished wind component saves on average 45% of CO2 emissions compared to a new part.
We are proud to contribute to a more sustainable and renewable world by specialising in the repair of renewable energy components and by pursuing a Reduce, Reuse and Renew policy.
Reconditioned components are not only sustainable, but also meet the most demanding quality specifications by complying with technical and quality standards to operate as new components, in some cases performing retrofits that even improve their initial characteristics.
When a component breaks down, at Acebron Group we can repair it and make it as good or even better than a new one with a complete refurbishment and with a new warranty. It is a sustainable and competitive solution, which helps to save costs for our customers.

Circular economy
We give components a second life
In a repair, some parts can sometimes be reused, but others have to be rejected because they cannot be repaired due to damage to the part. This component is scrapped and if possible, the old component is reverse engineered and a new one is manufactured. This component that cannot be reused, such as a wind shaft, is recycled with an authorised manager and given a new life by re-melting the material to manufacture other components.
