Renewable energy firm Galetech Group has acquired a 50% stake in Blade Technical Services (BTS), a specialist provider of wind turbine blade inspection and repair services operating across Ireland and the UK.
The Cavan-based company said the acquisition would expand its rapidly growing operations division, which includes businesses such as Adamas, Optigear, and Optinergy.
Founded in 2014, BTS offers blade inspection, complex structural repairs, leading-edge protection, and statutory inspections for wind farm operators.
Koen Busschots, founder and managing director of BTS, said: “Becoming part of Galetech Group gives BTS the scale to do more and move faster, without losing the quality and responsiveness that our clients value.”
He added, “With Galetech’s support and expertise, we can deliver larger campaigns with stronger quality assurance and the same uncompromising focus on safety.”
Galetech’s CEO Darren Sherry said the acquisition aligned with the company’s strategy to consolidate renewable energy service providers to offer integrated solutions 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,” Sherry said.
The companies did not disclose financial terms of the transaction.
