History
The company was founded in Give, Denmark in 1985. In 1995 Nordex was the first company to mass-produce a 1 MW wind turbine booster.[3]
On October 1, 2001, the bankrupt company of Südwind Babcock-Borsig was fully implanted into Nordex, which then continued to produce Südwind turbines in the 1.5 MW class (ProTec MD 1,500 kW) from 2001 - originally from "pro + pro Energiesysteme" (a subsidiary of aerodyn Energiesysteme GmbH and Denker & Wulf) developed the S70 and later the S77 - under license..
In 2016, the wind turbine manufacture business unit of Spanish conglomerate Acciona, Acciona Windpower, merged with those of Nordex to form Nordex Group.[4] Acciona S.A. is now the main shareholder of the Nordex Group.[5]
