Ingeteam Aniversario Anniversary

Ingeteam celebrates its 50th anniversary. Presentes ya en 24 países, la firma celebra su 50 aniversario.

Posted on October 12, 2022October 12, 2022 by info

Ingeteam’s 50th anniversary celebration took place at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, with an emotional tribute to the four families that founded the company. Fifty years ago, four engineer friends returned from Germany to do postgraduate studies and, despite the difficulties of the time, decided to start up their own business. This is how TEAM was born in 1972, which later merged with Ingelectric, giving rise to Ingeteam.

From the very beginning, those four friends, Javier Madariaga, Víctor Mendiguren, Miguel Gandiaga and Alberto Belaustegui made it possible for Ingeteam to become what it is today, a company with 4,100 people, production centres in Spain – Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Navarre and Albacete. It also has production centres in Milwaukee in the USA, Brazil, Mexico and India. It also has sales offices in 24 countries. In short, Ingeteam is a multinational with a presence on all 5 continents.

The anniversary celebration was attended by the President of Ingeteam, Teresa Madariaga; the CEO of Ingeteam, Adolfo Rebollo; together with the Lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu; the Deputy General of Bizkaia, Unai Rementeria; and the Government Delegate, Denis Itxaso, among other authorities. Customers, suppliers and employees of the company were also in attendance.

The President of Ingeteam, Teresa Madariaga, stated that “Ingeteam will continue along the path opened up by the four founders with the same effort, drive and enthusiasm as they did and, in this way, continue to be at the technological forefront, enabling us to celebrate at least another 50 years”.

Likewise, the CEO of Ingeteam, Adolfo Rebollo, thanked “the customers, institutions and all our colleagues who have formed part of the Ingeteam family. To those of you who are here and to those who have left us, thank you for making it possible for us to be here today celebrating Ingeteam’s 50th anniversary. Based on our convictions and our innovative potential, we want to consolidate our position as leaders in renewable generation, in storage, in smart grids, and in efficient and clean electricity consumption. We want to make an even greater contribution to changing the energy model. We will dedicate all our efforts to this in the coming years”.

Throughout these 50 years Ingeteam has managed to position itself at the forefront of technology in the sectors in which it operates: wind, solar, electric mobility, electricity grids, green hydrogen, hydraulic generation, naval, traction, steel, water, mining and energy storage, among others.


Technological milestones

Among Ingeteam’s main milestones, it is worth highlighting that in 1984 the company started working on the development of the first generation regulation systems for hydroelectric power, a generation control system later applied to wind and photovoltaic power. In the 1990s, the company specialised in the turnkey supply of turbine regulation and control equipment and all the automation of hydroelectric power plants, in collaboration with electricity companies. This decade also saw the opening of subsidiaries, starting in Germany and continuing in the Czech Republic, Mexico, France, South Africa, Chile, Thailand, Panama, the Philippines, Uruguay, Morocco, the United Kingdom, Honduras and Vietnam, among others.

In 1995, Ingeteam pioneered the development of variable speed machines, a technology that has become the gold standard in the wind power industry to date.

The company’s development of power electronics systems in the wind energy field in 2000 led to variants applicable to other forms of renewable energy, such as photovoltaic solar energy in 2001, then in its infancy.

In 2010, Ingeteam started out in the electric mobility sector by developing charging posts for electric vehicles. The company’s focus on the electrification of society, together with its technological capacity, has enabled it to position itself as one of the most important players in this sector.

Ingeteam began its activity in the energy storage sector in 2009 with several R&D projects, and in 2014, as a result of projects related to distribution substations, it built the first 9 MWh utility-scale installation, attached to a photovoltaic generation plant.

In 2021, the green hydrogen business was set up with the aim of becoming a leader in power electronics associated with green hydrogen generation.

Throughout its 50 years of existence, Ingeteam has won major contracts with world-leading companies, winning public contracts and competing with the world’s leading technologists. Its technology can be found in wind farms and photovoltaic plants all over the world, on ships and cruise ships, in desalination plants, in trains, metros and trams, in biomass plants, hydroelectric plants, steelworks, mines, among other areas.

The company is currently immersed in an ambitious strategic plan that envisages the hiring of 1,000 people over the next three years, of which more than 100 will go to the R&D area, as well as the investment of 210 million euros, of which 140 million will go to R&D to continue with its commitment to its own technology.

The company is a key player in the electrification of society, as evidenced by its record order book thanks to the development of proprietary technology. This firm commitment means that Ingeteam has been investing 5% of its annual turnover in R&D for decades.

Ingeteam Aniversario Anniversary

Ha tenido lugar la celebración del 50 aniversario de Ingeteam, en el Palacio Euskalduna de Bilbao, con un emotivo homenaje a las cuatro familias que fundaron la empresa. Hace 50 años cuatro amigos ingenieros regresaron de Alemania de hacer unos estudios de posgrado y, a pesar de las dificultades del momento, decidieron emprender. Así fue como nació TEAM en 1972, que posteriormente se fusionó con Ingelectric, dando lugar a Ingeteam.

Desde los inicios, esos cuatro amigos, Javier Madariaga, Víctor Mendiguren, Miguel Gandiaga y Alberto Belaustegui hicieron posible que Ingeteam sea lo que es hoy, una empresa con 4.100 personas, centros de producción en España –Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Navarra y Albacete–. También tiene centros de producción en Milwaukee en EE.UU., Brasil, México e India. Además cuenta con delegaciones comerciales en 24 países. En definitiva, Ingeteam es una multinacional con presencia en los 5 continentes.

Al acto de celebración del aniversario han acudido la presidenta de Ingeteam, Teresa Madariaga; el CEO de Ingeteam, Adolfo Rebollo; junto al Lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu; el Diputado General de Bizkaia, Unai Rementeria; y el Delegado del Gobierno, Denis Itxaso, entre otras autoridades. También han asistido clientes, proveedores y trabajadores de la compañía.

La presidenta de Ingeteam, Teresa Madariaga, ha afirmado que “Ingeteam seguirá el camino abierto por los cuatro fundadores con el mismo esfuerzo, empuje e ilusión que lo hicieron ellos y, así, seguir estando en la vanguardia tecnológica que nos permita cumplir, al menos, otros 50 años”.

Asimismo, El CEO de Ingeteam, Adolfo Rebollo, ha dado “las gracias a los clientes, instituciones y a todos los compañeros y compañeras que habéis formado parte de la familia Ingeteam. A los que estáis aquí y a los que nos dejaron, gracias por hacer posible que hoy podamos estar aquí celebrando el 50 aniversario de Ingeteam. Desde nuestras convicciones y nuestro potencial innovador, queremos consolidarnos como líderes en la generación renovable en el almacenamiento, en las redes inteligentes, y en los consumos eficientes y limpios de energía eléctrica. Nos queremos significar aún más en pro del cambio del modelo energético. A ello dedicaremos todos nuestros esfuerzos en los próximos años.”

A lo largo de estos 50 años Ingeteam ha conseguido posicionarse en la vanguardia de la tecnología en los sectores en los que opera: eólico, solar, movilidad eléctrica, redes eléctricas, hidrógeno verde, generación hidráulica, naval, tracción, siderurgia, aguas, minería y almacenamiento de energía, entre otros.


Hitos tecnológicos

Entre los principales hitos de Ingeteam, cabe destacar que en 1984 la empresa empezó a trabajar en el desarrollo de los primeros sistemas de regulación de generación para energía hidroeléctrica, un sistema de control de generación aplicado posteriormente en eólica y fotovoltaica. En la década de los 90 y de la mano de compañías eléctricas, la empresa se especializó en el suministro llave en mano de equipos de regulación y control de las turbinas y de toda la automatización de centrales hidroeléctricas. En esa década también tuvo lugar la apertura de filiales empezando por Alemania y siguiendo por República Checa, México, Francia, Sudáfrica, Chile, Tailandia, Panamá, Filipinas, Uruguay, Marruecos, Reino Unido, Honduras, Vietnam, entre otras.

En el año 1995, Ingeteam fue pionera en el desarrollo de máquinas de velocidad variable, tecnología que se ha convertido en el estándar de oro de la industria eólica hasta la fecha.

El desarrollo de los sistemas de electrónica de potencia en el campo eólico, que la empresa llevó a cabo en el año 2000, dio lugar a variantes aplicables a otras modalidades de energías renovables, como el de la energía solar fotovoltaica en 2001, entonces en sus comienzos.

En 2010, Ingeteam inició su andadura en el sector de la movilidad eléctrica desarrollando postes de recarga para vehículos eléctricos. El foco de la compañía en la electrificación de la sociedad, unido a su capacidad tecnológica, le ha permitido posicionarse como uno de los actores más relevantes en este sector.

Ingeteam comenzó su actividad en el sector del almacenamiento de energía en el año 2009 con varios proyectos de I+D, y en 2014, fruto de proyectos relacionados con subestaciones de distribución, construyó la primera instalación a escala “Utility” de 9 MWh, anexa a una planta de generación fotovoltaica.

Ya en 2021 se constituyó el negocio de hidrógeno verde con el objetivo de ser líderes en electrónica de potencia asociada a dicha generación de hidrógeno verde.

A lo largo de sus 50 años de andadura, Ingeteam ha conseguido destacados contratos con empresas líderes mundiales, ganando contratos públicos y compitiendo con los principales tecnólogos del mundo. Su tecnología se encuentra en parques eólicos y fotovoltaicos situados en todo el mundo, en buques y cruceros, en desalinizadoras, en trenes, metros y tranvías, en plantas de biomasa, hidráulicas, siderúrgicas, minas, entre otros ámbitos.

Actualmente, la compañía se encuentra inmersa en un ambicioso plan estratégico que contempla la contratación de 1.000 personas durante los próximos tres años, de los que más de 100 se dirigirán al área de I+D, así como la inversión de 210 millones de euros, de los que 140 irán destinados a I+D para continuar con su apuesta por la tecnología propia.

La compañía es un actor clave en la electrificación de la sociedad y muestra de ello es que cuenta con una cartera de pedidos récord gracias al desarrollo de una tecnología propia. Este firme compromiso se traduce en que Ingeteam lleva invirtiendo desde hace décadas el 5% de su facturación anual en I+D.

Con una cartera de pedidos récord, Ingeteam es un actor clave en la electrificación de la sociedad gracias al desarrollo de tecnología propia.

Actualmente, Ingeteam cuenta con 4.100 personas y presencia en los 5 continentes, a través de sus centros de producción y delegaciones comerciales
