Kongsberg Maritime Acquires Inturbine
Kongsberg Maritime AS, Norway, has acquired InTurbine. The Norwegian specialist renewable and wind power consultancy firm joined Kongsberg Maritime’s Merchant Marine Division in Trondheim as of 1 December 2012 to support the operations and expansion of Kongsberg Wind Farm Management.
The purpose of the acquisition is to strengthen Kongsberg Maritime’s commitment to development of services and products related to the wind segment through the recently established Centre for Wind Farm Management.
KONGSBERG’s new centre for Wind Farm Management is a joint venture between Kongsberg Maritime AS and the listed parent company Kongsberg Gruppen ASA. The centre was established to develop solutions for wind farm control, condition monitoring and the operation of wind turbines globally.
According to general manager for Kongsberg Maritime in Trondheim, Andreas Jagtøyen, this acquisition will form a solid basis for further development of our new department within the operation and maintenance of wind turbines under the name Kongsberg Wind Services. Kongsberg Maritime’s intention is to maintain and further develop the important competence that exists within InTurbine. The company has a vision of contributing to placing Mid-Norway on the map within wind power.
