Windar gets new Chinese order, COVID-19 not affecting deliveries

Windar Photonics Plc (LON:WPHO), a Denmark-based developer of LiDAR wind sensors for wind turbines, has received an order to install 30 WindVision systems on DongFang turbines in China.

The deliveries will be made later this year, Windar said today.

The company also noted it expects to deliver the first 50 WindVision systems as part of a 100-unit order in China, as planned next month. These devices will be installed on CNR wind turbines.

As per the COVID-19 situation, Windar said that it has managed to maintain production and will make deliveries to customers without any delays. Still, it has taken certain cost saving measures, including a reduction on monthly salaries for certain employees. According to general manager Martin Rambusch, this was met with “unified acceptance” by the entire staff.

"I am very pleased that Windar is still obtaining orders in China despite the COVID-19 situation, and we are pleased to have been able to organise our production, during the COVID-19 period, in a way that has enabled us to meet delivery schedules previously agreed with our customers,” Rambusch said.
