"In April 2010, when we became the LM Wind Power group, we chose to retain our initials as a tribute to our rich legacy as LM Glasfiber, but also as a gentle reminder of where we began. A journey, that started with the foundation of Lunderskov Moebelfabrik (Lunderskov Furniture Factory) in the small town of Lunderskov, Denmark in 1940.

"Lunderskov Moebelfabrik or LM quickly began exploring the possibility of using glass fiber and by the early 1950s had changed its name to LM Glasfiber. This intrinsic knowledge of these advanced materials and a hard-earned understanding of the principles of wind energy have stood the test of time and have helped LM Wind Power maintain its position as market leader in wind turbine blades for decades.

"Although it wasn’t until 1978 that we began to manufacture wind turbine blades, the 50s marked the beginning of the heritage and continuing achievements of LM Wind Power. Soon after the millennium, one of Europe’s most successful private equity firms, Doughty Hanson, came calling and we have since embarked upon a strategic expansion with a global manufacturing footprint.
