The Company

The Leitwind story starts with ropeways, a core expertise of Leitwind's parent company HTI. One of the interesting features of ropeways is the electric direct drive. Its construction has proven its persuasive, safety and reliability even in difficult conditions.
With the application of this technology in a wind turbine Leitwind's first wind power system was built.

The company combined the direct drive with a synchronous generator and the first prototype came out, which was installed in 2003 in Malles, South Tyrol. In subsequent test runs the concept proved to be successful respect from simplified assembly and maintenance to operational reliability and profitability.
In 2007 Leitwind started serial production of onshore wind turbines. By now there are plants on three different continents. Backed by intra-group synergies the company can now offer not only turbines, but also complete wind farm construction as well as operation, maintenance and service packages. Producing in Italy, Austria and India, Leitwind has installed more than 340 wind turbines.
