Success at WindEurope in Madrid: Max Bögl and wind turbine manufacturer Nordex further expand their hybrid tower partnership

Type approval certificate for Max Bögl’s 179-meter hybrid tower for the latest N175/6.X turbine and additional capacity for expansion in Germany

As the Nordex N175/6.X turbine continues to evolve, so do the requirements for tower solutions, particularly with regard to Hub height, load assumptions, and scalability. Against this backdrop, Nordex reached an important milestone on April 21, 2026: At the WindEurope conference in Madrid, the Nordex Group officially received the type approval certificate in accordance with the DIBt guideline from the independent certifier TÜV SÜD for the Hybrid Tower Bögl, which is part of its strategic partnership with Max Bögl. The tower is based on the hybrid construction method developed by Max Bögl, which is designed for industrial manufacturing and high scalability. The certification is a prerequisite for the Permit and installation of the N175 on this tower.

“With these developments, Nordex continues to focus on performance optimization, certification stability and customer-oriented solutions, reinforcing the competitiveness of the N175/6.X turbine and supporting reliable project execution in increasingly dynamic and opportunity-rich market environments,” explains José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group.

 

In addition to the type certification for the 179-meter tower, both companies celebrated another success: Due to the ongoing, very strong order situation in the wind industry, the existing framework agreement was expanded to include an additional order volume.

 

“We are delighted by the trust Nordex has placed in us. With our hybrid tower concept, we are creating the structural conditions necessary for high-performance wind turbines, even at challenging sites. This successful certification demonstrates that, together with Nordex, we can provide scalable solutions to meet the growing demand for tower capacity in Europe.”
