Tower Tech to supply German turbine maker

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Broadwind Energy Inc. said today that its Manitowoc-based subsidiary, Tower Tech Systems Inc., has signed a contract to manufacture wind tower sections for Nordex USA Inc.

Another Broadwind subsidiary, Badger Transport Inc. in Clintonville, received a contract to deliver the sections to various Texas locations for Nordex.

The contracts are the first for Broadwind with Germany-based Nordex, a global supplier of turbines.

Tower Tech said it expects to supply the first Nordex sections in early 2009. The integrated order represents the first time Broadwind has included logistics coordination in its service package. Naperville, Ill.-based Broadwind bought Badger Transport earlier this year.

Broadwind said the Tower Tech order is the largest ever for Nordex in the United States. Financial details were not disclosed.
