Renewables specialist FairWind is set to boost its Asia-Pacific (APAC) presence and accelerate global growth by reaching agreement to acquire Cosmic Group, a leading Australian wind installation and maintenance provider.

This strategic acquisition reinforces the company’s existing presence in Australia and expands its footprint into New Zealand and Japan.

The transaction is expected to close in Q4 subject customary regulatory approval, and will see the Brisbane-based business and its team of 100 technicians become part of FairWind.

Together with Cosmic, FairWind will be able to leverage local expertise while aligning the team with its global systems, standards, and strategic direction.

The business will become the regional hub for FairWind’s APAC operations with one of its founders, Matt Crossan, appointed as Regional Director.

Cosmic, will continue to operate under the Cosmic name – ensuring continuity for its existing projects and clients.

Stewart Mitchell CEO FairWind said: “This collaboration with Cosmic is a significant step in our growth strategy. There are great synergies between the two organisations, with shared values and unwavering commitment to safety. By joining forces with a team known for delivering to the highest standards, we’re extending our geographic reach while strengthening our capability to support customers wherever they operate.
