Torres Eólicas do Nordeste, TEN, is located in the northeast region of Brazil, where the best winds are blowing and the major of the country’s wind farms are located. The company is currently expanding its production in the growing wind tower market. Part of the strategy and bigger investment plan is to increase and improve the capacity and as TEN and Pemamek have a very strong partnership and collaboration already, the company decided to order PEMA welding platform to complete them constantly developing tower manufacturing besides the PEMA welding columns they invested in earlier.

The whole project planning for TEN started already 8 years ago, in 2013, two years before the company was established. The collaboration with Pemamek brought the companies together in terms of developing the design of the factory layout and the needs for this new company and the markets they were heading to. The increasing demands and complexity of the onshore projects in Brasil made the production needs look forward to in processing and welding the thicker plates. With the latest investments TEN is preparing for future projects in both onshore and offshore projects. The latest technology ables to offer the best quality products to customers growing demands.

“I would like to thank everyone for the great effort to make this project happen. This kind of technology and equipment is new in Latin America, so having the support of the whole PEMA team in the WS2 platform implementation at TEN makes us confident that we are going to achieve great results. I’m hoping to keep this partnership with Pemamek for years to come as strong as it is. Together we can weld better”, Carlos Konopatzki, General Director at TEN, summarizes.

“This customer relationship with TEN is the best reference in the wind energy industry for Pemamek. TEN is manufacturing onshore towers using the whole production line covered with PEMA processes and machines. And repeating the collaboration and orders, they have always been interested to have the latest technology and innovations like the PEMA Flange fitting station and now this PEMA WS2 Welding platform. It shows that the customer is looking into the future and has decided to be the number one player”, says Jarmo Pehkonen, Area Director, South America, at Pemamek.
