Nordex Group acquires SSP Technology A/S
- Nordex seeks to expand engineering skills to develop even more
efficient rotors
- Modern rotor blades lower the cost of energy from wind
Hamburg, 1 February 2017. The Nordex Group is acquiring SSP Technology A/S,
a developer and manufacturer of rotor blade moulds and the holder of
numerous patents for the production processes for this component. The
acquisition includes IP rights, around 70 employees and the facilities with
a floor area of some 10,000 square metres in Kirkeby (Denmark).
With this transaction, Nordex aims to reinforce its technological position
in the development of even larger and more efficient turbines. Looking
forward, the greater integration of mould and prototype engineering will
allow Nordex to respond more flexibly to fast-changing market conditions.
Nordex develops and produces rotor blades at its facilities in Germany and
in Spain and also works with external partners in production and mould
engineering.
"Our partnership with SSP Technology extends as far back as 2003 and has
always been very successful and constructive. I am convinced that we will
be able to significantly strengthen our innovation ability by integrating
the blade experts at SSP. Rotor blades are key to lowering the cost of
energy," explains Jose Luis Blanco, COO of Nordex SE.
SSP Technology A/S was founded in 2001 and has been engineering rotor blade
moulds and prototypes for turbines of between 1.5 and 8.0 MW since then.
The largest rotor blade prototype produced by SSP to date has a length of
almost 90 metres.
