Advanced Tower Systems (ATS) is a fast-growing business that has developed a new tower concept for large wind turbines as an economically and logistically attractive alternative to steel towers. The ATS tower is a unique solution for wind turbines of 1.5 MW or more, at hub heights of 80 to 150m.
The first tower has been built in Grevenbroich, Germany: a 133m large hybrid tower in combination with a Siemens 2.3MW-93m wind turbine.
ATS is a joint venture of MECAL, Hurks Group BV and Juwi Holding AG, established in May 2005. ATS is headed by the Managing Director Frans Brughuis, who was in charge of the wind energy activities at MECAL for many years.
