Flender has announced the inauguration of an additional generator production site in India.
Renewable energy depends on powerful wind turbines – and at the core of every turbine is the drivetrain, with the generator transforming rotational motion into electricity for the grid. The new production site in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, reinforces the value chain of Flender’sgenerator business and expands its global presence.
As a leading system supplier to the global wind market, Flender – through its Winergy brand – brings together comprehensive expertise across the entire drivetrain, offering gearboxes, generators, direct drive segments, couplings, and multibrand drivetrain services.
This strategic investment is a significant step in Flender’s initiative to expand its wind business in India. At the same time, the company continues to localize the supply chain, including integrated winding operations, to enhance manufacturing capacity closer to its customers. By expanding its presence in India, Flender aims to improve responsiveness, reduce lead times, and further reinforce its reputation as a reliable and trusted partner for the wind industry in India.
“The inauguration of our new generator site is an important milestone in the growth journey of our Winergy business in India,” said Joerg Sieber, VP Wind Generators at Flender. “It reinforces our long-term commitment to our customers and to the whole wind industry.”
“The new facility will support the increasing demand for wind power solutions, while also contributing to local industrial development and skilled employment,” said Vinod Shetty, Country CEO of Flender India. “This investment continues the successful localization efforts at our Indian locations and underscores Flender’s broader commitment under the Winergy brand to accelerate deployment of renewable energy.”
