History

The company was founded in 1983 by pionneers Sönke Siegfriedsen.,[1][2][3] Robert Müller and Friedrich-Wilhelm Frank as “aerodyn” in Damendorf. In 1986 the company changed to “aerodyn Energiesysteme GmbH”. Rainer Osthorst enter the company in 1991, Markus Rees in 1993. In 1994 the company moved from Damendorf to Rendsburg (Germany). The company works on commissions and own projects.

1997 the companies aerodyn Energiesysteme GmbH and Denker&Wulf GmbH&Co.Kg founded a joint subsidiary named “pro+pro Energiesysteme GmbH” in 1997 to develop a 1500 kW wind turbine system. In 2000 Denker and Wulf push ahead the amalgamation of pro+pro, HSW,[4] BWU,[5][4] and Jacobs Energie,[5][4] into Repower Systems AG. aerodyn has dropped out of this merger.

In 2010, work on an offshore wind park in China with the Chinese company Zhejiang Windey Engineering started.[6]

In 2013, founder Siegfriedsen left the company and Markus Rees and Rainer Osthorst became directors.[1][7]

Since 2020 the company is solely owned by the Managing Directors Markus Rees and Rainer Osthorst.

End of the year 2020 the trade mark agreement ends and a re-naming of the company into “AEROVIDE GmbH” was necessary.
