Growing Demand for Wind Turbine Production

The demand for wind turbine production continues to increase, and we take pride in supporting the wind industry with high-quality fasteners. For example, we supply all the bolts for nacelle components, as well as other wind energy fasteners needed for towers, blades, and platforms. Our robust product range, combined with a quality department that meets the specific requirements of wind turbines and our value-added services (VAS), ensures that you can confidently initiate production.

Robust Product Range

Since 2005, we have been supplying fasteners for the wind energy industry. These fasteners are used to produce gearboxes, essential components located within the nacelle of wind turbines. In manufacturing gearboxes, the wind energy sector relies on standard items and specially designed fastening materials, such as studs and pins. Some of these materials are also required to be resilient to low temperatures. The necessary specifications depend on the type of gearbox. Fabory offers a wide range of wind turbine fasteners for wind turbine towers and platforms used in large-scale turbine installations. In addition to unique fastening materials, we provide standard fasteners that comply with ISO or DIN standards, including vibration-resistant security products.

Flexibility and Availability

The wind energy sector demands flexibility, so we prioritise responsiveness in addressing your needs. We guarantee the availability of standard items and offer short lead times you can rely on, following a one-stop-shop approach. We also adapt to your strict delivery schedules, providing consistent deliveries tailored to your preferences. Our deliveries meet your specific quality requirements thanks to the close collaboration and communication between our Sales, Purchasing, and Quality departments. This cooperation ensures we effectively meet your needs while considering your application’s specifications.

From Your Specifications to Product Drawings and Quality Documents

As a manufacturer in the wind industry, you will have a dedicated point of contact at Fabory, providing a sense of familiarity. We collaborate exclusively with manufacturers who strive for high-quality standards. We source the right supplies according to customer requirements and verify these sources. This ensures full alignment with APQP4Wind certified supply chain practices, mitigating risks in critical wind applications. They are experienced in tracking every detail from the initial specifications to the final product delivery. APQP4Wind is a quality assurance method designed for the wind industry, focused on mitigating risks when introducing new critical items.

Specifications and Standards

You inform us of your needed items, and we assess our stock availability. In most cases, we create custom items. Based on your specifications, we draft product drawings that guide the procurement process, allowing us to identify suitable manufacturers. We consider mechanical properties, dimensions, and specifications, such as corrosion protection. When establishing specifications, we align with international standards, including those still under development. This allows you to future-proof your supply chain for fasteners in wind energy systems, regardless of changing specifications.

Additionally, our PPAP (Production Parts Approval Process) documents and quality records are carefully checked to ensure they meet the necessary criteria. Every customised item undergoes examination in our laboratory. Only after an item is scrutinised is the supplied batch released for logistics.

Companies in the wind industry appreciate our efficient and seamless collaboration approach. At Fabory, we operate with dedicated teams for each client. Our quality team, specialising in fasteners for wind turbines, is well-acquainted with the specific needs of customers in this sector. We utilise batch management in our ERP system throughout the entire internal logistics process—from receiving goods at Fabory to delivering them to the client. This means every production batch is kept distinct from others and can be traced back to the manufacturer and the client.
