2 DANISH QUALITY WIND MAGAZINE COMMERCIAL CONTENT Welcome to the Danish Quality Wind Magazine W e take this opportunity to salute the Danish Wind industry because it is the birthplace of modern wind energy as we know it. From humble beginnings in the mid- and west of Jutland in the beginning of the 1970s to the world-spanning industry with the big three offshore wind giants MHI VESTAS, Siemens, and GE wind. Not to mention a handful of other global companies. Our perspective is that Danish quality, which is primarily known in the dairy and farm produce sectors as well as the areas of furniture design and fashion, has been an integral part of the success in the OFFSHORE WIND WORLD. Ingenuity, curiosity, extreme flexibility, determination are the cornerstones of Danish quality. Furthermore, we are characterized by a focus on practical solutions. What is not so well known is that from the days of the Vikings, we have been raised in a spirit of cooperation: from early on in the kindergartens to universities, we are schooled in the process of working together. Looking back, the Danish wind giants are were not built by one strong character but by numerous companies and countless people who were and are determined to maximize the energy output from the wind.
