About Flender Group

Throughout its history, Flender has developed into a pioneer for industrial and wind drives. In 1991, the Flender gear unit (short: FSG) was the world’s first gear unit series based on a platform. It remains the industry standard to this day and is the basis for thousands of derivative programs and application specific gear units. The successor "Flender One" has been gradually introduced to the market since 2022, setting new standards in energy efficiency and optimal resource utilization with fully automated configuration and engineering processes combined with AIQ digital gearbox intelligence.
 
In the 1980s, Flender gearboxes brought the first modern wind turbines to life. Today, the company, with its wind brand "Winerg," is the market leader and has equipped every third wind turbine in the world with a drive component. With continuous increases in power density, Winergy products ensure that wind drives become more powerful and at the same time more compact, a key to the most cost-effective generation of wind power.
