Five Rights to Freedom of The Switch give the ability to excel even during hard times

The wind power business has experienced difficulties over the years in different continents. In 2009, the financial crisis squeezed money from the European market. In 2010, the US market slowed down. And most recently, China cooled in 2011.

We have been able to navigate in this turbulent environment, even though The Switch, too, has experienced challenges. Many potential projects have not turned into the planned volume production. Many of our customers have experienced challenges to enter the market, changed ownership or have given up on the wind turbine business.

We have analyzed our success factors – and come to the conclusion that we embrace certain rights, giving The Switch the freedom and ability to excel even during hard times.

The Switch continues to pursue its successful business strategy as an independent company

The Switch, a leading provider of permanent magnet generator and full-power converter packages, told today that it will continue to pursue its successful business strategy as an independent company following the announcement by its shareholders and power technology company AMSC regarding the termination of the previously announced acquisition agreement.

The Switch is well-positioned to continue to serve global wind power manufacturers as a partner of choice with the preferred technology for renewable energy. The success of The Switch has been based on partnerships, and AMSC has become yet another valuable partner for The Switch despite the acquisition outcome.
