Stockholm – December 17th, 2021 – Alder II AB (“Alder”), a Nordic investment fund focusing on the development of environmentally sustainable companies, has closed an investment in AB Inventech A/S (“AB Inventech”, or the “Company”).

With an attractive product and service offering, AB Inventech adds value to its customers by improving productivity, quality, work environment safety and cost of production through automation and professionalisation of manufacturing processes.

The wind turbine industry is growing, fuelled by structural market drivers of increasing energy demand, environmental focus, and consensus of its importance as a source for power generation long-term. Market trends of growing investments in wind turbine capacity, blade technology development and automation and professionalisation of production drive demand for AB Inventech’s products and services.

As the new majority owner, Alder will provide capital, experience, and support to enable AB Inventech to continue its growth journey internationally.

“We are impressed by the quality products and services supplied by AB Inventech under Arne Bech’s and Niels Kirkegaard’s management. The Company has built up considerable expertise and insight into the manufacturing of wind turbine blades, and we see a need for their knowhow and technologies as wind turbine blade manufacturing becomes increasingly complex. We are keen to enter into partnership with the skilled management team at AB Inventech to support them in their future international growth.”

says Jonas Frick, co-founder and partner at Alder

“With Alder as majority shareholder, we now have a strong and active partner with whom we can strengthen AB Inventech’s presence on the international markets within automation solutions for the wind turbine industry.
