Gurit (Zurich, Switzerland) reported on April 17 that it has signed a two-year supply agreement with an unnamed leading Chinese wind blade manufacturer. The agreement, Gurit says, entails engineering and supply of core material kits for a strategically important project to the customer for the years 2020 and 2021. The company reports that the project is expected to deliver net sales of CHF 13-16 million (USD $13.3-16.4 million) over the contract period.
“We have set a strategic ambition of getting a foothold in the Chinese domestic market, and this deal proves that our business model and engineering capabilities are a match for the Chinese market. We will continue to find smart and flexible solutions to serve [this] market,” says James Mei, head of China domestic sales for Gurit’s Kitting business unit.
