Gram & Juhl A/S started a department in North America last year, now it is time to start up in Germany.
Gram & Juhl GmbH will open on January 9, 2017 in Oldenburg’s Technology Park, and will thereby increase the availability for customers in Central Europe and Germany. The opening of the new department happens after 2½ successful years of growth in monitoring. The CEO therefore believes that expansion is natural, and it is no coincidence that the choice fell on Germany.
Axel Juhl, CEO at Gram & Juhl explains, “Germany is a large market in Europe, so there is a huge market potential for our monitoring of wind turbines. We can support the wind industry with our comprehensive TCM hardware and software portfolio, and as a global market leader, with over 17,000 installed systems, the company has specialist knowledge in this area.”
“We chose the location in Oldenburg’s technology park because we wanted a central and logistically good location and because Oldenburg is known for its focus on science, IT, and electrical engineering.” The location of Gram & Juhl GmbH in Oldenburg support technology and innovation in Germany with its special know-how as a manufacturer and service provider of TCM solutions. This makes Gram & Juhl GmbH a strong system partner for the wind power industry.
