GENESEO — SkyWolf Wind Turbine Corp. — a Finger Lakes–based company that designs, manufactures, and sells small wind turbines — recently announced that it has signed an agreement with a company to sell its products in overseas markets including Colombia.
SkyWolf Wind Turbine inked a 10-year international-representation agreement with SkyWolf Eco-Energies Colombia (SWEEC) SAS, which is based in Bogota, Colombia. This agreement gives SWEEC SAS exclusive selling rights in specific territories, including Colombia, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, according to a news release from SkyWolf Wind Turbine.
SWEEC SAS must sell a minimum of 40 wind turbines per calendar year to maintain the contract, acting as a commercial representative to distribute and promote the sales of SkyWolf 3.5KW wind turbines in the designated territories, the news release stated.
This strategic relationship offers accelerated market penetration and potential for significant growth opportunities in these markets, Gerald E. Brock, president of SkyWolf Wind Turbine and inventor of the company’s products, contends.
SWEEC SAS will begin introducing SkyWolf wind turbines in Colombia, the fourth largest county in South America. Colombia recently enacted a law to promote renewable energy with the goal of more efficient energy management, according to the news release.
Colombia has many potential uses for SkyWolf wind turbines including: desalination of water and providing electrical power to outlying areas, farms, electrical transit systems, and mining operations.
Sky Wolf Wind Turbine, founded in 2010 by Brock, offers turbines that are smaller, quieter, minimize the risk of throwing a blade or ice chunks, and are better at harnessing the wind’s power than traditional larger turbines, he contends.
Headquartered at 156 Court St. in Geneseo, the company has marketed its turbines in print media around the state, including the Rochester area and Central New York.
Sky Wolf Wind Turbine employees include Gerald Brock, president; Jesse Brock, operations manager; Amy Brock, corporate secretary and office manager; Aaron Christ, electrical engineer; and Raymond Fiore, mechanical engineer, according to the company’s website.
SkyWolf Wind Turbine’s technology earned two new patents granted on May 13. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued patent numbers 8,672,624 and 8,721,279, according to the news release.
