About AMSC Windtec GmbH — A history of innovation in wind energy development

Following nearly 9 years of development and commissioning work, Windtec GmbH was founded in 1995 in Klagenfurt, Austria and became the leading independent engineering company involved in designing complete electrical systems for wind turbine applications. Their projects ranged from 600 kW land-based wind turbines to 8 MW and larger offshore wind turbines. In 2005, they began delivery of complete electrical systems to Japan, China and Germany. AMSC Windtec
became a wholly owned subsidiary of American Superconductor in early 2007.

Windtec introduced the concept of “Build Your Own Wind Turbines” technology transfer for manufacturing of self-designed wind turbines by original equipment manufacturers. They provide complete customer-specific design and development of high quality wind energy systems and work side by side with their customers through the first reference turbine, assembly and certification process. Today, the Windtec technology transfer model is being adopted by Windtec customers on all major continents and Windtec continues to innovate new proprietary products to give their customers the market advantage in wind turbine technology.
