History
Gamesa Corporación Tecnológica was established on January 28, 1976. Its corporate headquarters are currently located at Ramón y Cajal, n.; 7-9, Vitoria-Gasteiz (Álava), in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (Spain).
On June 7 2002 the company’s name was changed from Grupo Auxiliar Metalúrgico, S.A. to Gamesa Corporación Tecnológica, S.A. It is referred to hereafter as ‘Gamesa’.
Since 2006 its business units have concentrated on technologies for energy sustainability.
Gamesa started business in 1976, developing new technologies for application in emerging sectors with a promising future such as robotics, microelectronics, environment, composite materials, etc. while continuing to run the company’s other existing activities.
In 1993 started out our first aeronautical project, the Embraer ERJ-145 Program. The wind turbine manufacturing unit was set up in 1994, while promotion, construction and sale of wind farms was started in 1996. In 1997, Gamesa began a process of concentration on activities considered as strategic, culminating in 2006 in withdrawal from aeronautics and services and solar in 2008.
Gamesa Technology Corporation has been gradually adapting its organizational and social structure to match the development processes of its activities, achieving a solid position in the wind power sector.
