With the world facing the pressing challenge of climate change, the need to reduce emissions and transition to renewable energy sources has become a global priority. The offshore wind industry has turned into one of the most promising sources of renewable energy and is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

This adds pressure on the whole value chain of the industry and creates a need for companies, which can provide specialized solutions and keep up with the constantly evolving offshore wind industry. This includes the manufacturing of complex large-scale structures, such as foundations and substations, supporting the wind turbines and enabling energy to be generated and transmitted to the power grid.

With a history of providing high-quality steel structures for infrastructure, as well as the oil and gas industry, Bladt Industries has today turned its business around to solely specialize in producing products for the growing offshore wind industry.

Bladt Industries is now regarded as a world-leading manufacturer of high-quality steel structures for the offshore wind market. They provide a broad portfolio of products, such as offshore substations and foundations, including monopiles, transition pieces and jackets, for a wide range of customers across the global offshore wind market.

With an innovative approach, Bladt Industries always strive to ensure that offshore wind foundations and substations support the long-term objective of maturing the offshore wind industry and reducing the cost of energy. This entails working innovatively with design and supply chain improvements as well as with automation, robotization and standardization in close cooperation with customers, suppliers, and industry stakeholders

As part of a strong partnership with Semco Maritime, Bladt Industries produced the first offshore wind substation in the world back in 2002.

Since then, a lot of water has run under the substations, and over the past 20 years, a strong track record of more than 25 offshore substations and 3100 foundations has been produced for offshore wind farms across the world, including multiple projects off the coast of the US and the UK.

As part of its turnaround to a 100% focus on offshore wind, Bladt Industries recently upgraded its production facilities at Odense Port, paving the way for the production of the so-called XXL monopiles – the predominant foundation type used for the supersized offshore wind turbines of tomorrow.

Thus, with the purpose of supporting a more sustainable future, Bladt Industries is well on its way to becoming a global leader in the offshore wind industry and bringing the foundation for the green energy transition offshore.
