SCHOTTEL Expands Repair Capacity
The newly extended repair facilities at SCHOTTEL’s German headquarters in Spay are now operational. The space was previously used solely for manufacturing new drives, but now the halls offer 2,200 square meters for the repair of SCHOTTEL propulsion systems, including a new mechanical workshop with various modern machines ready for a quick processing of parts.
According to SCHOTTEL, the new capacities enable the group to provide even faster response to customer requests. The service warehouse was fully integrated into the Spay location and thus is ready to provide spare parts globally in the shortest possible time.
For larger drives and the range of controllable pitch propellers, SCHOTTEL has opened the Service Center North in January 2016 in Wismar, Germany, where an onsite warehouse as well as a state-of-the-art mechanical workshop help keep repair times short.
"We have established excellent conditions at both sites for a fast and professional repair of all azimuth thrusters, controllable pitch propellers and maneuvering aids. Due to our own stock of machinery and employees with a longtime experience we are able to perform repairs and overhauls with a very short reaction time and in OEM quality,” explained René Lange, SCHOTTEL Director Repair International. ”With our worldwide network of service sites as well as 24/7 service hotlines we are available for our customers anytime and anywhere. We arrange everything to keep downtimes as short as possible.”
