“By exhibiting with ALMACO, we will show end users that we can meet the demands for high-performance composites not only in the North American market but also in Latin America and Europe,” Jean Zolet, CEO of BlueWind, says.

Zolet highlights that BlueWind is already analyzing projects to install European production units. “As projects emerge, we are fully capable of quickly starting a manufacturing operation in different countries,” he notes. He adds that, in Pensacola, Florida, where BlueWind is located, it took just 90 days for the company to set up shop and manufacture its first nacelle in the U.S.

At its booth, BlueWind is presenting a section of a nacelle cover that features a new technology with metallic inserts in the laminate. According to the company, the difference with this part is the addition of a carbon steel plate in its lamination, responsible for fixing the nacelle to the machine head. By adopting this practice, BlueWind guarantees greater dimensional reliability to the nacelle and improved productivity.
