Siemens has extended its packaging agreement for gas turbines with the engineering company Centrax Ltd. to now 31 European countries. Since June 2011, Centrax sells the SGT-300 and SGT-400 gas turbine series from Siemens as a complete package under the product name CX300 and CX400. In the extended European market Siemens has appointed Centrax to be the primary route to market for the sale of industrial power generation and distributed energy packages for these two gas turbine models.
Siemens established a packaging partnership agreement with Centrax for the SGT-300 and SGT-400 gas turbine series for Belgium, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Following the market’s acceptance of this arrangement, the agreement has now been expanded to 26 additional countries. This includes Austria, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Ireland. Furthermore Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Spain, Switzerland, and Turkey will be in the scope of the agreement.
“Our European customers will have access to our gas turbine technology combined with Centrax’ packaging know-how in the industrial power generation market,” explains Wolfgang Konrad, CEO of the Distributed Generation business unit within the Siemens Power and Gas Division.
Centrax successfully supplies gas turbine driven generator sets with Siemens aero derivative and industrial gas turbines in the range from 4 to 66 megawatts to the power and co-generation, mid-merit, downstream oil and gas, and stand-by markets in Europe.
“We have developed an excellent relationship with Siemens. Their engine technology combined with Centrax packaging and European customer support is a winning combination. We have already supplied CX400 units to each of the three leading European contract energy management companies and are now looking forward offering this combination to customers throughout Europe,” said Richard Barr, Joint Managing Director at Centrax.
