Windar Photonics exhibiting at Husum Wind 2025

Both Martin and Birol will represent the Company at the Husum Wind 2025 expo in Husum (Germany) from 16-19 September. Windar will be exhibiting its Optimisation and Performance Monitoring solutions, with a specific focus on its Nexus OS software and the upcoming launch of the advanced Turbine Performance Monitoring software module (Nexus TPM).

Jørgen Korsgaard Jensen, CEO of Windar Photonics, commented: "We have an opportunity to grow our business significantly, as shown by the step-change in recent sales and the pipeline of interest we are gathering. I am therefore delighted to welcome Martin to Windar. His extensive experience in North America, together with Birol's similar experience in Europe, will be key to us converting our pipeline as well as utilising their networks to gather new opportunities. We look forward to having both present at the Husum Wind 2025 expo, where we will be able to showcase our Optimisation and Performance Monitoring solutions to a global audience of asset owners."

Martin McLarnon, VP of Sales for the Americas, said: "Windar's recent success, based on its simple proposition of increasing power and life-span for turbines, with a return for customers after just two years, makes it an attractive time to be joining the business. I am very much looking forward to working with the team and growing the Company's presence in the American market."
