Developing and managing know-how

At LM Glasfiber, we consider it very important to have the right people at all levels. We work together to develop the company’s skills by each focusing on personal development within our specific areas of responsibility. We regard developing and managing know-how as a competitive parameter that is crucial for maintaining our leading position within this industry.

LM Glasfiber is an international company that focuses on a highly specialised technology. This has an influence on our day-to-day work:

We expand the envelope

“The work is exciting and provides real professional challenge, because we always expanding envelope for what previously been regarded as technically possible. At same time, the company has a young image. On average, our engineers are only just over 30.”

This is how Torben Jacobsen – MSc in engineering and Manager Design & Reliability – describes his work in the R&D department.

Lars Fuglsang, Global Research Director, also holds an MSc in engineering. He explains:

“In LM Glasfiber, you have lots room for initiative and acting independently – there are great opportunities for getting absorbed in specific issues, and facilities to try out solutions. As an employee, this means you’re learning something new and continuously developing your knowledge.” 

Lars and Torben have similar educational backgrounds, but they work in two very different fields. Lars has developed design tools and blade structure, while Torben works with increasing the rigidity and strength of the composite materials the blades are made of.

LM Glasfiber has a large R&D organisation, with a staff of more than 100. The company has more specialist knowledge than any other blade manufacturer in the world in fields that include aerodynamics, blade construction, materials and manufacturing processes. The global manufacture and service operations are based on systematic technology transfer and quality assurance procedures. We operate manufacturing and sales companies in Asia, North America, Northern Europe and Southern Europe.

“For me, LM Glasfiber’s international presence and focus are important,” says mechanical engineer Rikke Balle. “I’ve been abroad several times to help implement new production methods, and I am in touch with factories or customers from abroad every day. However, when I chose to work at LM Glasfiber, it was also a plus that wind power is a ‘green’ source of energy.”

Rikke works in our blade engineering department, which is responsible for the manufacture of blades at all our factories.
