German manufacturer Senvion has opened a new office in Japan as the company looks to extend its position in the country’s turbine supply market.
The Tokyo base is being headed up by general manager Kazuhiro Tanaka, who has been the company’s Japan sales agent since 2001.
In addition, the company said it has secured an order for three MM92 turbines at an unnamed wind farm in the country.
Senvion has delivered 68 turbines to Japan since it entered the market in 2003 totalling some 118MW at 16 wind farms.
The company’s chief executive Jürgen Geissinger said: “Our new office in Japan will ensure that our approach to delivering projects best meets the needs of both our clients and the local communities we work in.”
Tanaka added: “The future market for new wind farms looks very promising and we are pleased that there will now be an established local Senvion presence.
“Senvion’s turbine technology is well suited to the Japanese market where high performance and reliability are valued.”
