(Pamplona, Spain), dedicated to the design, development, manufacturing and commercialization of advanced wind technologies for wind turbine components, celebrates its 10th anniversary, coinciding with a recent shareholding restructuring that positions the company to face a new phase of expansion with confidence.

The wind energy company expects to close its 10th year of operations with revenues exceeding €20 million — a figure set to continue growing in the coming years as a result of the first large-scale orders for its products.

To reach this point, Nabrawind has successfully evolved from a small R&D company into a manufacturer of wind components. Its journey began in late 2015 with a strong initial investment in R&D to certify the Nabrajoint modular blade and the company’s Nabralift self-erecting towers. This initial stage culminated with the construction of full-scale prototypes, such as the Nabralift tower installed in Eslava (Navarre) in September 2018.

Between 2019 and 2022, Nabrawind entered its commercialization phase, installing commercial prototypes of Nabralift in Morocco (reported to be the tallest tower in Africa), Nabrabase in Namibia and France, and BladeRunner in France, Spain and Morocco. To strengthen this growth stage, Nabrawind established Navassy in late 2020 in collaboration with fellow Navarre-based companies Comansa and Tetrace.

More recently, between 2023 and 2025, Nabrawind certified its new family of Nabrabase and Nabralift towers for use with turbines up to 8 megawatts (MW), while successfully introducing BladeRunner into new markets such as the U.S. and Mexico.

Currently, Nabrawind is installing seven Skylift self-erecting towers in Namibia, while simultaneously completing in China the installation of a 188-meter Nabralift tower designed for a 7.8-MW turbine with a 182-meter rotor. This same tower and turbine model will be installed in what will become the first large-scale wind farm to incorporate Nabralift towers — a project scheduled for installation in 2026.

In parallel, 2025 has marked the beginning of large-scale manufacturing of BladeRunners for clients with extensive fleets of wind turbines across the globe. As a result, the large-scale deployment of BladeRunner will begin in 2026 in several countries across Latin America and Europe.

Over the years, this growth in business volume has been accompanied by an increase in Nabrawind’s workforce. The company started in 2015 with a team of seven people and has since grown to 68 direct employees and around 20 regular collaborators. Notably, one-third of its staff are women, and more than 50% are graduates of the Public University of Navarre (UPNA), reflecting Nabrawind’s commitment to gender equality, local development and an inherently international outlook.
