A pleasure to work together with Kitemill

I experience Kitemill as a goal-oriented, systematic and precise company. Their technology is extremely exciting, and it is a pleasure to be allowed to join in this, says the general manager of the mechanical workshop Einar Øgrey Farsund AS, Arne Marthinsen.

They develop among other things a winch drum and frame to Kitemill its new prototype. As such the Farsund-company is one of Kitemill its suppliers in the ongoing work to scale up the new power units based on eternal source energy, the wind at higher altitudes.

- Kitemill its technology functions very well; the challenge is probably the commercialization of their product. Therefore it is good to hear that the company has gotten strong signals from its first customer that he wants to buy five permanent units that will be localized in Lista its industrial area, says Arne Marthinsen.
