NAPERVILLE, Ill. — Broadwind Energy, the parent company of Tower Tech Systems in Manitowoc, finalized acquisition of Badger Transport of Clintonville on Tuesday.

Badger Transport specializes in transporting oversized and overweight components and equipment for the wind energy industry.

Tower Tech manufactures wind tower components on the Manitowoc River peninsula.

A news release from Broadwind indicated the intent to increase Badger’s heavy hauling fleet by more than 40 percent by the end of 2008, to meet increasing demands for Badger’s services from industry customers.

Additional plans call for locating Badger’s dispatch centers close to Broadwind manufacturing plants, operations and maintenance service centers and customer wind project sites.
