Manav Sharma, acting CEO and CFO of Senvion, said: "We have seen a very challenging 2018 so far, both in terms of industry developments and also as a company that is growing its presence in new markets. Despite the delays we faced in some projects, the uptick in installations in Q3 and the further cost reduction show that Senvion is operationally making progress. We now look forward to welcome Yves Rannou to join as CEO in Q1 2019 and progress the strategic agenda of the company."
David Hardy, Executive Director and CSO of Senvion, added: "We have managed to secure an extensive order pipeline for the next two years and entered partnerships with renowned partners for future cooperation in several growth markets. This also highlights the competitiveness of our products and success of our strategic decision to focus on growth markets such as India, Japan and South America."
Senvion reported earlier in November that it adjusted its revenue guidance for the full year from EUR 1.8bn - 1.9bn to around EUR 1.6bn based on installation delays experienced earlier in the year. For 2019, Senvion sees a significant growth potential as the company has already secured a firm revenue coverage of EUR 1.7bn and boasts a strong order pipeline.
