Our History
SEEWIND Windenergiesysteme GmbH was founded in the pioneering years of the wind energy technology, back in 1991 by Mr. Gerd Seel, who is still the CEO of the company. In the early years, the company designed and constructed own SEEWIND wind energy turbines. In total 93 turbines were erected. SEEWIND is still servicing the productive existing fleet.
The first SEEWIND turbine was built in October 1990. In the timespan between 1993 and 2002, the number of 85 turbines type SEEWIND 20/110 and type 25/132 and 8 turbines type SEEWIND 52/750 were installed.
The global distribution of the SW 20/110 and SW 25/132 turbines was as follows: 37 in Germany, 7 in Austria, 7 in Poland, 4 in North Korea, 1 in South Korea, 2 in Turkey, 25 in Italy, 1 in Belarus, and 2 turbines were installed in France. Even today, many of the SEEWIND turbines installed in the 1990s are still in operation.
From the year 2000 on, SEEWIND Windenergiesysteme GmbH began to reorganize away from investing more in R&D for the turbine itself and specialised in the planning, design and in the construction of foundations for wind turbines.
The first SEEWIND wind turbine from 1990 at the Walzbachtal site is still in operation.

Foundations built with solid reinforced concrete structures
Both deep and raft foundations for even the tallest wind turbines and with adopted piling solutions to the different subsoil situations.
Years of company history
Being perfectly networked in the renewable energy market throughout the decades provides process safety and sustainability for the company and the customers.
SEEWIND manufactured turbines installed
The race for increasing hub heights and rotor diameter implied capital intensity which limited the number of turbines manufactured and cleared the way after the year 2000 for specialization.
Countries of business activity
From across Europe over Belarus to the Korean peninsula (both North and South Korea) and hopefully more to come in the next future.
