Castrol, RomaxTech ink JV to grow wind turbine-predictive maintenance business

Castrol, one of the world's leading lubricant brands, on Tuesday announced the creation of a joint venture with Romax Technology's InSight business, a pioneer in predictive maintenance solutions. 

With over 30 years' experience working in the wind sector, this deal will combine Castrol's global reach and knowledge of wind turbine lubrication with RomaxInSight's expertise in predictive maintenance, software and data analytics for wind turbines. 

The lubrication and maintenance of a wind turbine's expensive gearbox is critical to optimising its performance and reliability. 

Mandhir Singh, COO, BP Lubricants, said: "We are incredibly excited about the potential this joint venture will create, both for the new business and also our existing customers. By working together I believe we will create a powerful, faster-growing business in the wind sector and beyond."
