Airborne announced that it has opened a new office in Cherbourg, France. This will take Airborne a step further in achieving the ambition to become the leading tidal blade engineering and manufacturing company in the world.
Airborne strongly believes that a local facility supporting the tidal energy projects of Alstom, Tidalys and others in the Raz Blanchard is crucial to the success of the now emerging tidal industry. Airborne expects to have its legal presence in France/ Cherbourg in effect as of April 30th 2014.
Airborne is already lining up for the commercial tidal farms that are expected to be realized as of 2018 onwards and has initiated discussion with partners in her value chain to secure the topics that accompany large volume manufacturing and to be ready to accommodate all pilot and commercial tidal farms to be built.
