What began in 2004 with the development of the first prototypes has evolved into an impressive success story. Today, BLADEcontrol® stands as a leading provider of innovation and reliability in the wind energy industry.
2004: The Beginning of a Vision
The development of the first prototypes marked the starting point for years of success. With a small, dedicated team and lots of hard work, the foundation for BLADEcontrol was laid.
2006: Start of Serial Production
Two years later, serial production of BLADEcontrol® began.
2008: Certification by DNV
With the certification of our rotor blade-based ice detection system by DNV, another milestone was achieved. New regulatory requirements accelerated growth and strengthened BLADEcontrol®’s market position.
2010-2014: Expansion and Internationalization
From the first offshore wind turbine to large-scale orders – during these years, we expanded our customer portfolio and gained renowned partners. In 2013, our rotor blade CMS for damage detection was certified by DNV.
