Remo Technical Services and Vertech embrace winds of change
07/02/2024
Remo Technical Services (Remo) has announced a pivotal moment in its journey. It has officially joined the CWL Group of companies, marking a significant step forward in its mission to excel in the wind energy sector.
Remo has been a prominent figure in the wind energy sector for six years, undertaking diverse onshore and offshore projects. Its commitment to innovation and excellence has been the cornerstone of its success. As it partners with the CWL Group of companies, Vertech Group in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region and Sonomatic in the UK and Europe, it is poised to expand its capabilities and reach new heights.
The CWL Group is a family-owned company that started in 2005 by acquiring Sonomatic, a subsea inspection and advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) company. Today, the group offers asset management services globally. It provides a comprehensive range of services that address asset integrity, inspection and maintenance for clients across various industries. It is committed to innovation and collaboration, bringing together innovative companies to achieve their mission of being ‘better together’.
In 2018, CWL took an 80% ownership in Vertech Group, which has since expanded to complete ownership. CWL’s support allowed Vertech Group to expand further on the east coast of Australia and New Zealand.
Russell Bell, Founder of Remo Technical Services, shared his vision for this new chapter: “Joining the CWL Group provides a considerable opportunity for the growth of Remo Technical Services. Over the past six years, the business has excelled in completing various scopes across the wind energy sector, both on and offshore. Joining the group allows us to grow and move to the next level, which will broaden our offering to our current and future clients.”
He further commented: “This venture with the CWL Group of companies is not just a partnership; it is a fusion of expertise, resources and vision. The group is known for its leadership in the energy industry through Vertech Group and Sonomatic, which brings a wealth of experience and a network that will enhance our capabilities globally. Together, we aim to drive innovation, improve efficiency and offer more comprehensive solutions to our clients.”
Alex Cesan, a director of the CWL Group, noted: “The group has been expanding its capabilities into the renewables sector over several years, including New Zealand-based Abseil Access, supporting hydroelectric power generation, Sonomatic in the UK, providing advanced inspection techniques to the wind sector, and our drone and digital twin service provider AUAV, which works heavily across solar and wind energy generation areas. With the world committing to tripling renewable energy sources at the UN (United Nations) COP 28 Climate Change Conference, this next step is a timely one that we are excited to announce.”
Russell added: “For our existing clients, this change promises enhanced services, more comprehensive expertise, a broader range of solutions tailored to the dynamic needs of the wind energy sector and significant depth in resources and support. For our future clients, it opens the doors to a partner that is now even more equipped to handle the complexities and challenges of renewable energy projects.”
