Panu Kurronen: On China’s rare earth cuts
China announced last week that it would restrict its rare earth export quota and the news came unwelcome for the Western renewable energy industry. In Beijing, a representative of a Chinese Ministry of Commerce think tank commented: “Foreign nations do not make sense when they blame China for reducing exports. Some of them can produce rare earth themselves. Nations that own rare earth resources should take the responsibility of producing and help supply global demand.”
What makes an optimal wind turbine?
During 2011, permanent magnet machine manufacturers experienced moments of fear. The prices for rare earth materials were spiraling upwards uncontrollably. Since then, the situation has stabilized to a level slightly higher than before the crisis. But what’s the overall situation right now?

The Switch motor combined with MAN TURBO compressor succesfully tested and proceeding to seabed
In October 2007, MAN TURBO of Switzerland announced the successful factory testing of its HOFIM™ compact compressor system, a sub-sea gas compression solution that includes highly tailored basic motor technology from The Switch. This motor is part of a future-oriented project financed by the Åsgard Licence Partners in Norway to develop compression systems for the next generation of oil and gas production.
The Switch together with MAN TURBO developed the high-speed motor, based on solid rotor technology, for the compressor system that will be used in a challenging environment of uncleaned wellstream gas.

Blossoming in 2019
Our fiscal year is not the calendar year. Instead, it runs from March 1 through the end of February, as is typical for many Japanese companies. The Japanese new year starts with the blossoming of cherry trees. And, similarly, our business has been flourishing, too. Our revenue has grown and our profitability improved during the past fiscal year.
