After the insolvency of PowerWind GmbH, the demand of the PowerWind platform was still huge. So PowerWind Ltd. decided to offer the PowerWind 500, PowerWind 56 and PowerWind 100 platforms to clients. "Through its large project pipeline and a financially strong mother company, PowerWind Ltd. offers the financial security we need to secure banks and clients. A team of former PowerWind employees ensures that the products retain their robustness and quality on a long-term base" says Marilyn Heib, the former team leader Sales Eastern Europe and now Head of Sales Europe and USA for PowerWind Ltd. The first turbine for the US market has been sold to Surenergy and will be installed this August in Port Clinton in Ohio. "The robust design of the PowerWind turbines already installed proved highly convinced. The whole concept and financial background gave us the necessary confidence, so that we decided to install a PowerWind 56 on our site again", so John Fellhauer, sales manager of Surenergy.
