“ The thing that makes it achievable for us is our OEM partnerships . They will support it , they will utilise it and there is a lot of interest in the market for it .
“ It creates a lot of added value to the customer ,” said Yeoman . “ Often what customers do these days is instead of having a standby machine , they hold critical spare parts , and the rotating elements are always amongst that .
“ If they need to do refurbishment of a rotor , they need to send that to Europe or the U . S ., but that increases the risk profile for their business significantly . If something happens during the entry period , they are going to be out of production for a long time .
“ But if that work can be done in Australia , it certainly reduces that risk profile to the customer , and therefore has significant added value to them as a business . That ’ s the next logical step forward for us .”
