Our History

Technological success through innovations

Many decades of experience in permanent magnet technology

As a spin-off of the University of Applied Sciences of the Saarland, VENSYS revolutionized the technology of generating electricity through wind energy, using a completely new concept at the time. Right from the start, we focused on the development of gearless wind turbines.

The establishment of VENSYS Elektrotechnik GmbH in 2008 enabled us to step up efforts to design and manufacture tailor-made converter and blade pitch systems. Our own rotor blade production facility in Spain – Eblades Technology, founded in 2016 – further enhances vertical integration, with ever more core components produced by VENSYS.

A wellspring of state-of-the-art wind energy generation worldwide

International licensees have been driving the expansion of business in the growth markets of the wind energy sector since 2003. VENSYS technology has thus stood the test of time – over and over again under the most challenging environmental conditions. The global expertise thus gained is harnessed to steadily improve design and optimize yields.

Proximity to research and development strength make VENSYS a popular partner when it comes to pilot projects, with TimberTower, which was realized using a VENSYS 1.5 MW turbine, a prime example.
