Michigan composites company exports to Spain

By Kathie Zipp | May 29, 2012

Energetx Composites of Holland, Michigan, is exporting a complete set of 45.3 meter wind blade molds from its Michigan facility. The molds are shipping to Aeroblade, based in Minano, Spain. Energetx Composites is using an identical mold set in its Holland facility to manufacture the same 45.3 meter wind blade for the North American market.

The shipment brought together local companies to assist Energetx including Rockford Berge, Great Lakes Heavy Haul and Gelock Heavy Movers. Once the molds are delivered to Muskegon, they will be shipped to the Port of Bilbao in Spain.

Kelly Slikkers, Vice President of Business Development, stated, “We are excited to be exporting wind energy components to Europe. It is a testament to Michigan’s history of manufacturing excellence coupled with our state’s waterways that allow companies in Michigan to economically ship components internationally. We are also excited that this wind project has created more than 50 new jobs for the company and we plan to continue hiring throughout the summer.”


Energetx is currently manufacturing blades for the North American market and will be ramping up production in July.

Energetx Composites is headquartered in Holland, Michigan. The company is an innovative provider of manufacturing solutions for composite fabrication including engineering, design, tooling, process development, technology and manufacturing assembly. Energetx Composites provides the perfect platform for delivering innovative solutions to the composite manufacturing needs of its customers around the world.
