Suzlon: Global Headquarters

The Indian windenergy company, Suzlon Energy, chose to locate their global headquarters in Denmark.

Why Denmark?

"Denmark is global leader in know-how for wind-energy. That is why our global head quarter will be here."

Tulsi Tanti
Chairman
Suzlon Energy Ltd (India)

“Denmark is the world’s leading Wind Energy hub. We could have placed our global headquarter anywhere in the world, but Denmark is the obvious choice when it comes to Wind Energy.

The Danish competencies within this field are unsurpassed and by locating here, we have direct access to an abundance of world-class know-how.”

Per Hornung Pedersen
CEO
Suzlon A/S (Denmark)

The reasons for choosing Denmark:

Availability of highly qualified employees within the Wind Energy sector
Europe’s most flexible labour market – allowing companies to operate 24/7/365
Denmark’s recognised position on the global Wind Energy market, providing invaluable industry brand-equity
Easily accessible World-class know-how within the Wind Energy industry
Dynamic business environment with a minimum of ‘red tape’
High level of moral and sense of responsibility among employees
Extensive international experience among working population
Safe and well-functioning working environment

The new global headquarter, Suzlon Energy A/S, officially opened in the beginning of 2005. From here, some 30 highly qualified employees manage Suzlon’s international activities at the company’s selected international target markets: the US, Australia, China and selected European countries. The responsibilities and activities of the Danish company therefore include global management, sales and marketing for markets other than India, project management, as well as support and service.

Suzlon is the world’s 6th largest wind turbine manufacturer with ambitions

of becoming top league.

The Indian company, which focuses its production on on-shore wind turbines, had revenues of USD 400 mn in 2004 (estimate).
