deugro to expand Europe wind energy division

Project freight forwarder deugro says it will expand its Wind Renewable Energy Division in Europe in response to “rapid growth” in the sector across the continent.

A recruitment drive within the wind energy sector forms part of deugro’s global strategy to increase investment in the sustainable energy industry, coinciding with the company’s 100-year-anniversary this year.

“Over the last few years, wind and renewable energy has played an increasingly vital role in the deugro story, which led us to establish a division focused purely on Wind Renewable Energy several years ago,” said Kasper Heiselberg, head of global wind renewable industry operations.

“We focus on the changing needs of our clients, and to stay ahead we are investing in our engineering and technical teams to create the required products, making us placed to add value to these clients by overcoming technical challenges and meet the segment growth in demand.

“We will continue to make key hires over the remainder of 2024 and beyond as we expand our focus on this sector and help our clients achieve a greener, more sustainable future.”

deugro operates a green energy logistics hub in the port of Wilhelmshaven, Germany, which will be further developed to accommodate wind-related projects. When complete at the end of this year, the hub will service the needs of the forwarder’s clients in the onshore and offshore wind industry, providing unrestricted access for ocean-going vessels and direct hinterland connections to Germany’s freeways, as well as the European rail network.
