Only 22 companies among all of GE's global suppliers received the award.
BlueWind has provided more than 1,700 nacelle covers to GE since January 2020.
The award ceremony took place in November during the 2023 General Electric Onshore Wind Supplier Conference and Awards, an event that brought together more than 500 people linked to 120 GE global suppliers in Pensacola, Florida.
During the meeting attended by GE leaders such as Guy Lynch, executive director of global sourcing, and Vic Abate, CEO, as well as representatives from the White House, the company presented its strategic planning for the next ten years. With a targeted increase in production capacity from 45 to 75 nacelles per week, GE is channeling substantial resources, including a US$50 million investment in the Pensacola plant.
“The entire BlueWind team was very proud of the award given by GE, as it recognizes our core values and shows that we are on the right path as high-performance composites manufacturers. Besides, we are excited about GE’s plans, our strategic partner since the beginning of BlueWind’s activities,” said Jean Fabio Zolet, CEO of BlueWind.
Founded in 2019 in Pensacola, BlueWind manufactures composite parts for applications with high technical requirements, such as those in wind power generation and agricultural and petrochemical industries.
