Ingeteam to introduce its new Milwaukee plant at WINDPOWER Anaheim

Ingeteam's new factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA) is soon to be opened, so Ingeteam's wind power sales team will introduce it at the WINDPOWER 2011, trade show to be held from May 22 to 25 at the Convention Center, Anaheim (California).

The presentation will take place during the show, on Tuesday, May 24th, at the Ingeteam booth, number 4031, in Hall A. It will start at 5 p.m. with a corporate video and will involve the participation of Aitor Sotes, Ingeteam Inc.'s CEO, as well as Adolfo Rebollo, Vice-President for Generators, and Javier Perez, Vice-President for Converters. After the presentation, visitors will enjoy some hors d’oeuvres.
 
Ingeteam will also announce the wind power products (converter-generator series covering power ranges from 1.5 to 5 MW) that will be in this new production center at the Windpower  Show in  Anaheim, organized by the AWEA (American Wind Energy Association). Two actual examples will be shown at the booth: a double-fed Generator and a 2 MW Converter.
Ingeteam will also provide information on its activities as a supplier of control electronics, pitch control systems and wind farm maintenance services during the show.
 
New production center in Milwaukee
 
This new plant will start its activity in the energy sector in the next months with the manufacture of wind generators and converters, as well as photovoltaic inverters, to cover the needs of the North American market. Ingeteam has a sales office in Santa Clara (California) already for the sale of solar photovoltaic inverters. Another of the new subsidiary's objectives is the manufacture of motors, generators and converters for the other markets in which Ingeteam carries out its activities: drives, rail, marine, co-generation and the iron and steel industry.
 
The facilities are built on 8.2 acre lot, and 120,000 sq.ft.  will be used for the production plants and offices. The new facility involved an investment of 12 million euros.
With this new factory, Ingeteam is expanding its international production capacity, in addition to the recent openings in Brazil and China. As such, in addition to Spain, Ingeteam already has manufacturing and sales locations in the USA, China, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic and Mexico.
