The Nordex Group has signed an agreement to acquire C1 Connections, a Dutch engineering firm specialising in tower connection technologies. Through this transaction, the Nordex Group is acquiring a core team with specialist expertise in structural engineering, as well as the patented C1 Wedge Connection™ technology for onshore applications, including the associated portfolio of intellectual property rights and technological know-how.
“C1 Connections brings distinctive technology and highly specialised expertise that complement our existing capabilities. By combining this innovation with Nordex’s proven expertise in turbines and towers, we can expand our range of solutions for selected projects and create additional value for our customers,” says José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group.
“We have been working for years to prepare our technology for industrial-scale deployment. Nordex brings with it expertise in the development of wind turbines and towers, as well as a global customer base. Our team is looking forward to further developing the technology as part of the Nordex Group,” says Jasper Winkes, founder and CEO of C1 Connections.
The parties have agreed not to disclose the financial terms. The offshore wind energy business is not part of the transaction and will be continued by a separate, newly established company.
