What is the modern history of Nordex?

When Nordex was founded in 1985, the international wind turbine industry was still in its infancy. It wasn’t until the early 1990s that big orders started to come in. The company specialised from the very beginning in making large, powerful turbines, which over the years have been developed to operate with ever higher levels of efficiency. Production operations started in Germany in 1992, and in 2001 the company launched its initial public offering. Nordex expanded across the globe in the new millennium, starting production work in China and establishing Nordex USA Inc in Chicago.
