We develop solutions for wind electricity production and develop micro-grid technology which enable integration of renewable energy sources to rural communities.

Our own R&D, manufacturing and laboratories give us the expertise to continually innovate and serve our customers on an individual level. We work with our partners to research and develop new technologies.

We constantly try to minimize our waste generation and increase the recycling rate. We design our products taking material efficiency into account. We aim for high quality and to produce robust products with a long lifespan.

Electricity is an enabler of modern life, modern societies, energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction.
