KK Wind Solutions has officially inaugurated a new factory (pictured) and offices in Bengaluru, India – its largest manufacturing facility in Asia, employing up to 400 people.
The factory will produce convertors and control systems for the wind industry.
The new site was inaugurated at a formal ceremony attended by Eske Bo Knudsen Rosenberg, Consul General of Denmark in Bengaluru, as well as partners, customers, and members of the KK global leadership team.
The company also inaugurated a new office in the city of Bengaluru, where 150 employees will work in a global shared services function.
Mauricio Quintana, chief executive of KK Wind Solutions, said: “India is an increasingly important hub in the global wind energy value chain, and Bengaluru was the clear obvious choice for our expansion in India.
“The city has renowned universities and technical institutes, and a large talent pool of engineering professionals.
“With these new facilities, our supply chain is now even more global, enabling us to deliver high quality power control and converter solutions to our customers around the world.”
The inauguration comes at a time of expanding cooperation between Denmark and India under the Green Strategic Partnership, which promotes joint innovation, sustainable development, and trade in green technologies.
In India alone, meeting the country’s 2030 renewable energy target of 99GW would mean a doubling of installed wind power capacity in just five years, the company said.
Quintana added: “As a global company founded in Denmark, we are proud to contribute to this partnership by creating jobs, transferring know-how, and accelerating clean energy adoption
“Together with our partners in India, we are engineering solutions for a renewable future.”
Eske Bo Rosenberg added: “The expansion of KK Wind Solutions underlines the close green strategic partnership between India and Denmark. India is committed to the necessary green transition and has set ambitious renewable energy targets.
“From the Danish side, we are committed to working together with our Indian partners and the wind industry to help achieve these targets.
“The investment by KK Wind Solutions in a new factory and office facilities in Bengaluru with more than 500 jobs signifies India’s growing importance as a hub for clean technology manufacturing.”
The investment in Bengaluru reflects KK Wind Solution’s strategic focus on building sustainable operations in close collaboration with local ecosystems – from suppliers and institutions to communities and talent.
The site will support engineering, manufacturing, and customer services, tailored to meet growing demand in Asia and beyond.
KK Wind Solutions has been present in Bengaluru since 2017.
The company has operated a 11,000 m2 factory in the city that produced power converters and controls for the wind industry.
The company’s recent growth and new business opportunities required establishment of a new factory in the region.
The chosen site in Dobbaspet, in an industrial park on the outskirts of Bengaluru, presented the best location to build a new, larger facility of this size, benefiting from other international businesses located in the area.
The facility will become a key strategic manufacturing hub for the company, and its largest manufacturing facility in Asia, KK Wind said.
The site will create up to 400 jobs and have a significant economic contribution in Bengaluru, it added.
In addition to the manufacturing facility in Dobbaspet, KK Wind Solutions has also opened a new office in the city of Bengaluru.
The new office is three times larger than the company’s previous office and will enable the growth of the company’s global shared services function.
Around 150 colleagues are expected to be employed at the city office.
