Senvion

Senvion S.A. (called REpower Systems SE until 2014) is a German wind turbine manufacturer founded in 2001 in Germany, majority owned by a private equity firm. Senvion as REpower Systems as it was initially called, was established in 2001 through the merger of three German wind companies: engineering consultancy Pro+Pro (a subsidery of Denker&Wulf and Aerodyn Energiesysteme GmbH), the wind turbine manufacturer BWU and Jacobs Energie; and since April 2015 Centerbridge Partners.[5][6][7][8] It was under the ownership of Suzlon, an India wind turbine manufacturer, from 2007 to 2015.
