WindEnergy Hamburg – Wide Range of Core Components
WindEnergy Hamburg has received a very impressive level of registrations for WindEnergy Hamburg 2014.
Registrations have now reached a total of more than 65% of the planned exhibition space for WindEnergy Hamburg 2014. The concept of WindEnergy Hamburg is set for growth.
A large number of wind turbine manufacturers have now registered, including Alstom, Areva, GE, Gamesa, Nordex, REpower and Siemens, and that generates great appeal for their component suppliers and customers.
All in all, an exciting range of products is coming together over the whole of the wind industry value chain. Especially in the wide-ranging area of core components, with suppliers from ABB to Zarges.
