Sale of surplus turbines
As part of its versified activities, a Dutch service company was trading in used rotating equipment. In order to support short lead times and create clear communication lines a larger number of mainly steam turbine-gen sets was taken on stock for considerable time.
Since increasing business to a significant higher volume was considered to be too time and cost consuming for this non-core activity, a sale or scrap program was started.
After consulting this specific market most current equipment was sold for re-use in Tanzania and Pakistan within the shortest possible time frame as were less demanded equipment was sold to scrap metal recycling specialists. Thus a major financial write-off could be considerably reduced.
