After Eickhoff’s announcement at the end of April 2023 to exit wind serial production, German drive manufacturer Flender has reached an agreement with Eickhoff to acquire Eickhoff Wind Asia Pvt Ltd (EWA) with its assembly plant in Walajabad Taluk, India.
Established on October 1, 2020, in India, Eickhoff Wind Asia Pvt Ltd (EWA) specialises in the production of wind gearboxes. The facility currently has a test bench capacity of up to 8 MW. It is located in the greater Chennai area, close to Flender’s existing facility. The transaction is subject to minor closing conditions and is expected to be completed within the next few days.
