UpWind Signs Lease for Distribution Center

 

UPWIND SOLUTIONS, INC., a leading wind asset management services firm, will open its first parts and tooling center at 15745 W. 100th Terrace in Lenexa.

UpWind Solutions has signed a lease for more than 18,700 sq. ft., with plans to grow its presence over the next several years.

Following a comprehensive evaluation of several locations, the company selected the KC region for its surrounding infrastructure and proximity to more than 70 percent of the wind farms coming out of warranty over the next 3-5 years.

The new facility will house a wide range of spare parts for multiple wind turbine technologies, as well as an engineering center for parts and critical components like gearboxes, generators, blades and transformers. The state-of-the-art facility will feature modern inventory storage and management equipment, and advanced software.
