With domestic orders dwindling fast, Brazilian glass-fibre and epoxy blade-maker Tecsis is taking steps to increase exports to around 70% of its output, up from around 45% over the past two years – a push that will go hand in hand with efforts to diversify its client base to mitigate any fallout from GE’s acquisition of LM Windpower.

“Increasing our client base has been our main task since last year,” CEO Fabiano Mori tells Recharge, pointing out that GE has cancelled orders through 2019 that had been placed by Alstom for local onshore projects, before the US group’s 2015 acquisition of the French OEM.
