Buffalo TurbineFounded in 1945 as Buffalo Turbine Agricultural Equipment Company, Buffalo Turbine is a New York manufacturer known for pioneering turbine-based air movement. Now designing and building its machines in Springville, the company supplies equipment for working grounds and sites, with a history that includes the first turbine-style debris blower in 1996.SPRINGVILLE, NY
LM Wind PowerSince 1978, LM Wind Power has designed and manufactured wind-turbine blades, with more than 275,000 produced and roughly one in five blades worldwide carrying its work. Based in Kolding, Denmark, the company is part of GE Vernova and also services its own blades as well as those made by other turbine manufacturers through a globally deployed team.CINCINNATI, OH
American Offshore EnergyAmerican Offshore Energy is dedicated to the development and implementation of offshore, floating, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). These turbines have a broader base and much lower center of gravity than HAWTs, so they float easily, allowing for inexpensive siting in Class 6 winds. AOE's VAWTs have just one moving part, the rotor, supported at the perimeter by near frictionless radial air bearings enabling direct drive generation at the perimeter and eliminating the entire drive line. VAWT's are less expensive and faster to build, resulting in 50% cost reduction per MW, shorter delivery time, and low maintenance in operation.ASTON, PA
Ducted Wind Turbines, IncFounded in 2016 through the NEXUS-NY energy incubator, Ducted Wind Turbines develops and builds small distributed wind turbines in Potsdam, New York. Its D3 turbine uses a ducted design licensed from Clarkson University, where the company’s technical work began, to produce more energy than a conventional open-rotor turbine of the same size. DWT has installed units at farms, campuses, and commercial sites across Upstate New York and has shipped one to the United Kingdom.POTSDAM, NY
