In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in the use and application of Renewable Energies. Investments in this sector have experienced a steady growth for over a decade, which has led to a doubling of the global capacity of renewable electricity between 2005 and 2015.
Among these, wind power has become a major source of energy generation within Europe and in many other countries. Lafert Sales Manager, Davide Bravin comments on this market “Lafert keep growing in this sector year after year because we have, and will continue to, invest in new technologies.” Bravin further states: “We can continue to grow in this sector with double-digit percentages over the next five years.
