The BIG 5 alliance defies all odds without compromising on quality or expertise. This bold coalition, featuring LINSINGER Maschinenbau GmbH, MIBA Group, HAEUSLER AG, ENABL A/S, and partners, unites decades of expertise to transform manufacturers’ production efficiency, enhance their competitiveness, and reduce the levelized cost of energy.
Producing wind turbine towers and foundations is no small feat; it requires intricate processes, specialized skills, and state-of-the-art technology.
Imagine a Tower & Foundation manufacturer building a tower factory relying on specialized suppliers for plate fabrication, welding, handling systems and others. With these suppliers working independently, the manufacturer struggles with coordinating meetings, aligning custom solutions, integrating diverse systems without a unified interface, and managing stages without a clear strategy. Delays or technical faults in one stage can stall the entire production, leading to prolonged delays as suppliers operate in silos, each focusing solely on their part.
As a result, what should be a coordinated effort becomes a challenging ordeal, leading to decreased efficiency for the manufacturer.
No Compromises, Just Expertise: An End-to-End Solution for the Whole Production Value Chain The challenges faced in tower and foundation production, with fragmented processes and isolated suppliers, led to the creation of the BIG 5 partnership three years ago composed of industry leaders such as LINSINGER Maschinenbau Gmbh, MIBA Group, HAEUSLER AG, ENABL A/S, and partners. It delivers comprehensive factory setups and upgrades that address both current and future market demands, including the next generation of turbines, by offering an integrated approach rather than disconnected efforts from separate co-suppliers.
The BIG 5 stands as the most feasible alternative in the industry. While competitors offer a fixed concept, the BIG 5 chose innovation & tailor-made solutions, uniting independent companies that specialize in individual parts or stages yet comprehend the entire value chain through their expertise. “ The BIG 5 stands as the ideal solution for future-proofing industry challenges, combining its expertise to ensure the highest efficiency and effectiveness of every individual process. ”- shares Michael Steinkogler , COO at LINSINGER.
