Nordex Group is acquiring SSP Technology, a Danish wind turbine blade mould and prototype manufacturer.
The German company said SSP is also the holder of numerous patents for the production processes for turbine blades, which are included in the deal.
The acquisition also includes 70 employees and a 10,000-square metre factory in Kirkeby in Denmark.
Nordex said the “greater integration of mould and prototype engineering” will allow it to “respond more flexibly to fast-changing market conditions”.
It said it develops and produces rotor blades at facilities in Germany and Spain and also works with external partners in production and mould engineering.
Nordex chief operating officer Jose Luis Blanco said: “I am convinced that we will be able to significantly strengthen our innovation ability by integrating the blade experts at SSP.”
