Morphic has signed a long term Co-operation Agreement with the Global wind turbine manufacturer Kenersys. Kenersys extends exclusive rights to market and sell its products of 2.0 & 2.5 MW capacity in Nordic countries, Baltic countries and non-exclusive rights in Poland.
This Co-operation agreement would facilitate Morphic to market and sell Kenersys wind turbine generators in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and in Poland except to some of the Kenersys’s existing customers. The wind turbines would be manufactured in Kenersys facility in Northern Germany and would be shipped to Sweden. All the associated services including manufacturing of towers required for mounting Kenersys turbines would be executed by Morphic at its own factory in Sweden. In a long run Morphic would also contemplate to supply towers for Kenersys for its Global requirements. Morphic would also carry out the Operation & Maintenance of the Kenersys turbines in the above mentioned territories.
The Co-operation agreement signed with Kenersys will strengthen Morphic’s ambitious plan of broadening the product portfolio by introducing 2.0 & 2.5 MW wind turbines and has given Morphic an option to cater to the requirement of various customers in the territories. The first deliveries of Kenersys’s turbines would commence in 2009. The scope and the terms & condition of this agreement would be more or less similar to the agreement Morphic had signed with WinWinD for its products 1.0 & 3.0 MW wind turbines.
“This agreement with Kenersys will broaden our product portfolio & facilitate us to offer wind turbines to suit different markets & IEC type class wind regimes, both onshore & offshore. Our product portfolio comprises the MW class turbines of 1MW, 2MW, 2.5MW, 3.0MW & 3.5 MW. Kenersys’s turbines will complement both WinWinD’s and ScanWind’s turbines and would help us to increase our delivery capacity considerably. We can now deliver technically advanced & competitive wind turbines to yield maximum returns on investment for the customer,” says Jonas Eklind, President and CEO of the Morphic Group.
Mr. Kalyani, Chairman of Kenersys, said that “Kenersys is pleased to be associated with Morphic Group.
