If you have high expectations, you’d better start by living up to them yourself. We have been challenging ourselves for more than 25 years. In 1992, with the development of an active-stall blade pitch control system for 300/600 kW-wind turbines. Or in 1998, when we began serial production of pitch systems for 1,5 MW turbines. Or in 2001, with a pitch system for the then largest WTG in the world. Offshore by the way.
In 2006 we started production in Qingdao, China, and ... we’ll stop telling you about our history now. We’d rather make history. For you as well. We look forward to meeting your personal expectations. If you happen to be perfectly satisfied with everything at the moment, we’re pleased about that too. And invite you to visit our website time and again over the next 25 years.
