(Greenville, SC — May 8, 2018) — Integrated Power Services (IPS), the North American leader in the service, repair and distribution of electric motors, generators and mechanical power transmission components, has opened a wind field service facility in Sweetwater, TX.
The new location is the fourth IPS service facility in Texas (along with Houston, Beaumont and Corpus Christi) and the company’s 28h location in their North American network of service centers. Sweetwater will provide complete up-tower services for Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico wind farms, including generator exchange.
