LEITWIND quality
For LEITWIND, quality is a fundamental requirement in every step of production and services.
Customized solutions
Standard solutions are not always the best, also in terms of cost-effectiveness: LEITWIND adapts the configuration of its wind turbines to the specific requirements of the individual customer.
Global network
LEITWIND guarantees a worldwide presence: offices, plants and service centres in Italy and around the world allow us to offer our customers a fast and efficient response.
Focus on design
Wind turbines shape the landscape, which is why LEITWIND also attaches great importance to design, offering highly productive systems that blend in perfectly with their surroundings.
The power of synergies
LEITWIND is part of the HTI Group: Group synergies ensure customers more than 130 years of experience in implementing projects worldwide.
Thinking sustainable
Sustainability not only means renewable energy systems, it also means reducing maintenance costs, with individual components developed and designed to last.
From idea to result
Research and development, project management, production, installation, grid connection, commissioning, service and maintenance - LEITWIND is a competent and innovative partner who supports customers in every phase of the project.
Innovation
In order to continue to be successful, it is necessary to continue to grow, and LEITWIND makes research and innovation the heart of its technology and services.
Modularity
Maximum cost optimisation with LEITWIND's modular systems, which ensure interchangeability of components and lower transport costs and allow systems to be installed even in hard-to-reach areas.
DirectDrive generator
DirectDrive, the LEITWIND direct-drive generator, does not require a gearbox and is therefore more efficient than conventional generators. The direct drive ensures simple construction and thus greater reliability, maximum efficiency and lower maintenance costs.
