Breaking into and succeeding in the wind energy supply chain is not easy. The performance criteria are necessarily stringent, the customers are rightfully demanding and the investment required is often daunting.
Workshops, seminars, consultants and strategic relationships are all part of the mix.
GLWN is an international wind energy supply chain advisory group and network of manufacturers and suppliers whose mission is to increase the domestic content of North America’s wind turbines. GLWN is hosting its Advanced Wind Workshop on June 16, 2010 in Kettering, Ohio (near Dayton). This workshop is designed for companies that provide products and services for wind farm development, construction, or operations and maintenance, or if you can manufacture fabricated or composite parts for a wind turbine.

Northeast Ohio continues to emerge as a hot spot for advanced energy activity and inspiration.
This week at WINDPOWER 2010 in Dallas, Northeast Ohio was a center of attention. On Monday, GE and Lake Erie Energy Development Corporation announced a long-term partnership to make Lake Erie the site of the first fresh water offshore wind farm in the United States.
In addition, more than 40 Northeast Ohio companies – companies of all sizes and areas of expertise – were represented at the show, and they were doing business. Many of our largest and brightest corporate citizens – including Timken, Sherwin-Williams, Lincoln Electric, Parker Hannifin, Eaton Corporation, Applied Industrial Technologies – were there. They are already serving this growing industry and finding opportunities to do more.
The public sector and partnership organizations were also well represented – including Gov. Ted Strickland, the Ohio Department of Development, collaboration champion NorTech Energy Enterprise, The Cleveland Foundation, and supply chain leader GLWN.
WINDPOWER 2010 is the fastest-growing trade show in North America, with approximately 1,400 exhibitors and 24,000 attendees at this year’s event. And Northeast Ohio was a main attraction at the four-day event.
