POWEEND (FRANCE) USES MAZAK MACHINING TECHNOLOGY IN MANUFACTURING WIND TURBINES

Date posted : 14/07/2026 - 08:59:03

Renewable energy is currently a focal point of global attention. In this context, POWEEND - a pioneering energy enterprise from France - is redefining the wind power industry through the application of Mazak's advanced machining system to manufacture the Eole5 turbine. The article below will analyze in detail Poweend's strategy and how solutions from Mazak help them achieve their green energy goals.

POWEEND and the Vision to Redefine the Wind Power Industry

Founded in 2020 in Prouvy (Northern France) under the leadership of CEO Guillaume Verdonck, POWEEND carries a breakthrough vision: providing a wind power solution in France that is not dependent on government subsidies. Instead of pursuing giant turbine towers over 150 meters high, the company focuses on developing Eole5 – a mid-sized wind turbine series with a capacity of 1 MW.

Optimal location: Specifically designed for industrial parks and export processing zones.
Performance and size: Large enough to achieve high power generation efficiency, but compact enough to easily obtain permits and deploy in reality.
Strategic goal: Promoting low-carbon energy supply directly on-site, serving the direct consumption needs of factories.

Mr. Verdonck shared: "Our goal by 2030 is to produce and install 30 turbines per year. Production capacity will be continuously increased based on a foundation of 15 years of experience and a modern automated machining system."

2. Mazak Machining Solutions: The Key to Absolute Precision

To realize the ambition of turning the wind turbine production line into an automated one like the automotive industry, POWEEND has invested heavily in Mazak's large-scale CNC machine systems. This system allows for 24/7 operation, perfectly processing parts weighing tons with extremely strict tolerances. At the main factory, the array of Mazak machines currently operating at full capacity includes:

VARIAXIS i-800 NEO: High-performance simultaneous 5-axis machining center.
FJV-60/80: Rigid double-column machining center.
VERSATECH V-140N: Versatile 5-face machining center.

The role of Mazak equipment in production: These machines take on the integrated machining for the most core components of the wind turbine, including: the hub, main shaft, nacelle, generator frame, rotor disc, and tower pillar structures.

A project representative of POWEEND affirmed: right after putting the VARIAXIS series into operation, the factory achieved perfect repeatability, accurately meeting the dimensional requirements for mass production. The gap between the actual machining cycle time and the set target has been minimized to the maximum.

"Besides outstanding reliability and cutting performance, the prompt after-sales service and dedicated technical support from Mazak are the decisive factors for our investment." – CEO Guillaume Verdonck

3. Production Optimization & "One-Stop" Service Strategy

POWEEND does not just stop at the role of an equipment manufacturer but also expands into comprehensive B2B power supply services.

Automating the Production Process Looking towards the future, the company focuses on upgrading automation in complex stages such as rotor manufacturing and propeller polishing. This helps to:

Optimize the production process.
Shorten the cycle time.
Improve quality and repeatability.
Completely eliminate redundant operations.

Comprehensive Energy Services

To remove the barrier of complex permits in the wind power industry, POWEEND provides a "one-stop" service solution. This service package covers everything from: Site survey -> Completion of administrative procedures -> Installation -> Maintenance -> Dismantling at the end of the project's life cycle. This solution brings a huge advantage to B2B customers with the commitment: "No management burden, no investment risk."

4. Sustainable Development: Minimizing Environmental Impact from the Production Stage

For an enterprise with a mission to provide low-carbon energy, environmental protection must start right on the factory assembly line. POWEEND's choice of Mazak's VARIAXIS NEO machine series is a clear testament. With modern technology, this machine series brings the ability to save up to 46% of power consumption compared to previous generations. This is an important step forward, contributing directly to the company's vision of sustainable development and carbon emission reduction.

Conclusion: The combination of POWEEND's breakthrough vision and top-tier precision machining technology from Mazak is creating strong strides for the wind energy industry. Not only creating high-quality products, this collaboration also opens up an on-site energy supply model that is efficient, sustainable, and cost-optimized for the future.

Applying Mazak Technology in Vietnam: The Role of Tuyet Nga Distributor POWEEND's success in France is a clear testament to the superior quality, precision, and performance of Mazak machining centers globally. In Vietnam, to access and apply these advanced manufacturing solutions, businesses can partner with Tuyet Nga Co., Ltd. – the official distributor of Mazak CNC machines.

With extensive experience in the machine tool industry and a highly skilled team of engineers, Tuyet Nga not only supplies top-tier precision machining equipment from Mazak (such as the 5-axis VARIAXIS series, FJV double-column, or VERSATECH...) but also provides comprehensive services. From consulting on automation solutions and technology transfer to prompt after-sales service and dedicated maintenance, Tuyet Nga is committed to helping mechanical, manufacturing, and energy enterprises in Vietnam optimize their production processes, enhance competitiveness, and move towards sustainable development goals.
