The Nordex Group is acquiring SSP Technology, 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).
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. 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.
