First patent in 1968

LM Glasfiber took out our first patent in 1968 for a special conveyor used to transfer live fish into a lorry. Since we began developing and manufacturing wind turbine blades in 1978, we have patented more than 120 products in this specialist field, and the applications have, of course, become more frequent as our development activities expand.
