Moller Holding created the biggest electro-mechanical system supplier in the wind industry growing from 800 to 2.300 employees. With the finalization of the acquisition of Vestas Converter & Controls, KK Group is embarking on a new journey and it felt natural to reflect on the future and I have decided to pursue new ventures.
