São Paulo became the center of attention in the renewable energy sector from September 12 to 14, hosting the major event Brazil WindPower, the most important wind energy fair in Latin America.

This time, the spotlight of the event focused on the congress dedicated to offshore and emerging advancements, such as the intriguing green hydrogen. For SKF, this event meant more than just a booth to showcase products. It was a platform to demonstrate commitment to the circular economy and sustainability. In particular, the company stood out in promoting products for the wind energy sector, emphasizing asset monitoring and, notably, services to optimize and recondition lubricants.
