LM Wind Power (formerly LM Glasfiber) is the world's largest independent supplier of rotor blades to the wind industry. More than 175,000 LM Wind Power blades have been produced since 1978, corresponding to more than 70 GW installed wind power capacity and each year effectively replacing more than 120 million tons of CO2.〔 ==History== LM Wind Power was founded in 1940 as Lunderskov Møbelfabrik (Lunderskov furniture factory) in the small town Lunderskov, Denmark. In 1952 they investigated the possibilities of commercial exploitation of glass fiber technology, which made them change their name to LM Glasfiber and abandon their original plan of manufacturing wooden furniture. It wasn't until 1978 that they started making wind turbine blades. The first set of LM Glasfiber blades was installed on the Windmatic wind turbine, in Scottish waters near the Orkney Islands, during the 1970s. In 2010, the company name was changed from LM Glasfiber to LM Wind Power, to better reflect the industry in which they operate.〔 LM Wind Power Group was launched with the formation of three separate divisions – LM Wind Power Blades, LM Wind Power Service & Logistics and Svendborg Brakes.〔 In 2013, Svendborg Brakes was sold to Altra Holdings Inc.〔 LM Wind Power joined the UN Global Compact in 2010, signifying their commitment to the compact's ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption. Since then, they have reported their performance in the annual report non-financial highlights section and in a more detailed document submitted as the annual Communication on Progress for the UN Global Compact. LM Wind Power applies the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework for guidance and structure.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LM Wind Power」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
