Flender Certifies Atlanta Gear Works as Authorized Service Partner for Industrial Gearboxes

Flender, a global manufacturer of mechanical and electrical drive technology, has certified Atlanta Gear Works as a Flender Service Partner, expanding authorized maintenance and repair options for industries relying on Flender gearboxes. This certification is particularly significant for cement manufacturers and other heavy industries where gearbox reliability directly impacts production continuity and operational costs.

The certification followed a rigorous two-day audit covering Atlanta Gear Works' environmental, health and safety plans, manufacturing procedures, data control, training protocols, and facility standards. "Flender is highly regarded worldwide and is known for high quality and dependability," said Atlanta Gear Works President Jack Conway. "This partnership proves our expertise."

Atlanta Gear Works brings 35 years of experience repairing and rebuilding Flender gearboxes to the partnership. "We are very familiar with what is required to rebuild a Flender gearbox having had many years of experience," said Craig Massa, Atlanta Gear Works VP-Sales. This experience is now formally recognized through the certification process.

The partnership has practical implications for industries dependent on Flender equipment, particularly cement manufacturing where gearbox failures can cause costly production stoppages. With Atlanta Gear Works now certified, companies have expanded access to authorized service providers who understand Flender's technical specifications and quality standards. This could potentially reduce downtime and maintenance costs for operations using Flender gear units, couplings and generators.

Flender, headquartered in Bocholt, Germany, has operated for 125 years and serves various heavy industries with a particular focus on wind energy. The company's services include installation, commissioning and maintenance of its equipment.
