Business Wire
Energy Composites Corporation further strengthened their
WindFiber™ Team with the appointment of their first Sales Engineer,
a well respected U.S. wind blade industry professional, Derek
Johnson. Mr. Johnson will be responsible for establishing
responsive, sustainable relationships with major wind farm
integrators and turbine manufacturers in the U.S. WindFiber™
Operations, ECC’s wind blade fabrication division that will operate
a new 535,000 square foot advanced blade manufacturing facility in
Wisconsin Rapids, WI.
“Derek brings to ECC’s WindFiber™ division remarkable insight on
the growing market for wind energy in the United States,” noted Sam
Fairchild, Energy Composites’ CEO. “Pairing Derek with Adrian
Williams, WindFiber’s™ Director, is a winning combination to ensure
that WindFiber™ is successfully market-facing and responsive. I
particularly value Derek’s understanding of the full
blade-fabrication cycle -- associates who have had extensive
experience on the factory floor bring important insights to
developing successful sales strategies. We are fortunate to have
the opportunity to benefit from Derek’s leadership.”
Before joining ECC, Mr. Johnson served as North American Service
Manager for LM Glasfiber, where he led the development of their
service division and delivered exceptional results.
Jamie Mancl, ECC’s founder and President, added that “Derek is
the consummate team player, with a strong work ethic and
willingness to do his homework. He will support Adrian in multiple
ways as we launch and commission our new blade factory.”
Adrian Williams, WindFiber’s™ Director, said, “Derek is a
well-known quantity to me, and our decision to bring him onto the
team was a very easy one to make. WindFiber™ clearly has an
aggressive schedule, and Derek will provide substantial value to us
as we meet our launch milestones and then our performance
milestones. He is very well respected within the industry because
he delivers what he says he will deliver, and that is what
WindFiber™ is all about.”
ECC’s WindFiber™ manufacturing facility, which will have a 1,500
megawatt production capacity, will be the centerpiece of one of
North America’s leading wind turbine blade manufacturing
businesses. Together with its 40-acre logistics center, the plant
will be able to produce more blades of a greater length than any
current or planned facility in the United States, including the
very long blades -- greater than 50 meters in length -- that are
required by the rapidly growing offshore wind energy sector.
WindFiber™ enjoys important industry advantages, including a
high-productivity, streamlined manufacturing model, nine production
lines of advanced flexible manufacturing with significant vertical
supply chain integration designed to reduce input costs and expand
quality, the use of unique de-icing technology that help to make
wind farms more sustainable, and the development of the only global
certified blade fabrication training program. The WindFiber™ plant
is scheduled to open in Q1 of 2011.
