Manufacturing and production

ENERCON designs and manufactures its turbines primarily in Germany (headquartered in Aurich, Lower Saxony) and operates additional production and service locations internationally; as a result the E-160 EP5 is produced primarily in Germany but ENERCON also manufactures components and assemblies in other countries for selected markets.

Brand origin and ownership

ENERCON was founded by Aloys Wobben in Aurich, Germany; the ENERCON/UEE group and its brand originate from that German founding. In 2012 Aloys Wobben transferred his shares to the Aloys Wobben Stiftung (foundation), which is the sole owner of the group holding (UEE Holding) and thus the ultimate owner of the ENERCON brand. The foundation structure is intended to keep the company independent and guide its long-term strategy. (en.wikipedia.org)
