HOW IT STARTED

As a wind turbine service engineer, I could see the role wind energy would play in the future. A vision that quickly took on a more concrete form, and is still undergoing active development.

In 1996, I set up an independent, brand-independent business, specialising in wind turbine maintenance. Initially, these were several small turbines, such as the Lagerwey 18/80. Shortly after starting the business, I was asked to take on larger turbines too, such as the Vestas V52.

Solution-oriented performance and preventive service are at the heart of our approach. We began by offering a full service to investors and agricultural businesses. Blade damage, failed gearboxes and hard-to-source components were everyday problems. But for Bettink Service Team, these problems presented opportunities for growth. After 10 years, there was even international recognition. Due to the large (international) market and the different specialisms, we split up our activities, giving rise to three new businesses: BGS for large components, Global Blade Service for blade repair and the windturbinespareparts.com webshop.

“Optimisation and level-headedness remain our distinguishing features.”

We even advised major wind turbine manufacturers. In 2018, we took over LELY Aircon’s portfolio, adding small wind turbine production to our activities under a new brand: BestWatt. An ambition, and a concept, built around generating 100% of your own energy.

As an independent family business, Bettink Service Team built its name on professionalism, level-headedness and a no-nonsense approach. That experience turned our mechanics into engineers and specialists who understand the technology behind renewable energy through and through.

The Dutch energy market is dynamic, and markets elsewhere in Europe and beyond are heavily regulated. A new landscape is taking shape, and we intend to be ready for it.
In metaphorical terms: steering a single large ship is less complex than commanding a fleet of smaller boats simultaneously. We have therefore decided to bring a number of the aforementioned enterprises back into a single fold, thereby linking knowledge and experience. I look forward to leading this fine company under its new name: Rengineers.

ALL UNDER ONE ROOF

We have grown into a full-service provider. A strong focus on wind turbines and everything around renewable energy. As BestWatt, we also offer complete systems that can store energy as hydrogen.

Refurbishment, repair and turnkey projects are another important part of what we do. Our workshop, refurbishment department, and spray booths have become essential departments. Growth and broader expertise called for a building of our own.
