Bengaluru, 14 May 2025 : KK Wind Solutions, a EUR 1 billion company owned by A.P. Moller Holding, has officially inaugurated a new factory and offices in Bengaluru, India. The expansion marks a major step in the company’s international growth strategy and its long-term commitment to supporting India’s renewable energy ambitions.
The new factory will be the company’s largest manufacturing facility in Asia, employing up to 400 people. The factory is now an integral part of KK Wind Solution’s global supply chain, servicing customers across the region and around the world.
The new site was inaugurated today at a formal ceremony attended Mr. Eske Bo Knudsen Rosenberg, Consul General of Denmark in Bengaluru, as well as partners, customers, and members of the KK global leadership team. The company also inaugurated a new office in the city of Bengaluru, where 150 employees will work in a global shared services function.
“India is an increasingly important hub in the global wind energy value chain, and Bengaluru was the clear obvious choice for our expansion in India. The city has renowned universities and technical institutes, and a large talent pool of engineering professionals.” said Mauricio Quintana, CEO of KK Wind Solutions. “With these new facilities, our supply chain is now even more global, enabling us to deliver high quality power control and converter solutions to our customers around the world.”
A growing commitment to India
The inauguration comes at a time of expanding cooperation between Denmark and India under the Green Strategic Partnership, which promotes joint innovation, sustainable development, and trade in green technologies. In India alone, meeting the country’s 2030 renewable energy target of 99 GW would mean a doubling of installed wind power capacity in just five years.
“As a global company founded in Denmark, we are proud to contribute to this partnership by creating jobs, transferring know-how, and accelerating clean energy adoption,” Mauricio Quintana added. “Together with our partners in India, we are engineering solutions for a renewable future.”
“The expansion of KK Wind Solutions underlines the close green strategic partnership between India and Denmark. India is committed to the necessary green transition and has set ambitious renewable energy targets. From the Danish side, we are committed to working together with our Indian partners and the wind industry to help achieve these targets. The investment by KK Wind Solutions in a new factory and office facilities in Bengaluru with more than 500 jobs signifies India’s growing importance as a hub for clean technology manufacturing,” says Eske Bo Rosenberg, Consul General of Denmark in Bengaluru, India.
Shape Expansion in Bengaluru
The investment in Bengaluru reflects KK Wind Solution’s strategic focus on building sustainable operations in close collaboration with local ecosystems — from suppliers and institutions to communities and talent. The site will support engineering, manufacturing, and customer services, tailored to meet growing demand in Asia and beyond.
KK Wind Solutions has been present in Bengaluru since 2017. The company operated an 11,000 m2 factory in the city that produced power converters and controls for the wind industry. The company’s recent growth and new business opportunities required the establishment of a new factory in the region.
The chosen site in Dobbaspet, in an industrial park on the outskirts of Bengaluru, presented the best location to build a new, larger facility of this size, benefiting from other international businesses located in the area.
The facility will become a key strategic manufacturing hub for the company, and its largest manufacturing facility in Asia. The site will create up to 400 jobs and have a significant economic contribution in Bengaluru.
In addition to the manufacturing facility in Dobbaspet, KK Wind Solutions has also opened a new office in the city of Bengaluru. The new office is three times larger than the company’s previous office and will enable the growth of the company’s global shared services function. 150 colleagues are expected to be employed at the city office.
