State-of-the-art inspections


At PES we were curious about Aero Enterprise, so we decided to call Robert Hörmann, CEO/CTO and Peter Kurt Fromme-Knoch, CEO/CFO to find out more about this fast developing, innovative company. They are very happy to be part of the BUSS Energy Group, finding much mutual benefit and profiting from the global reach. However, they are not losing their own identity and are continuing to develop their hard- and software for turbine inspection.

PES: A warm welcome to you both to PES Wind, it’s good to talk with you. Would you like to begin by giving us an overview of Aero Enterprise?

Robert Hörmann: Aero Enterprise began in 2015 by both Peter and myself, we are co-founders. In the beginning the company focused on the development of special hard- and software equipment for the digitized airborne inspection of wind turbines and other vertical objects.

Parallel to this in-house development and bringing it to market readiness, we started presenting our services to the European market, using the fully digitized and automated airborne inspection of wind turbines.

Peter Kurt Fromme-Knoch: Our team consists of 10 highly qualified technicians covering aeronautical engineering, mechatronics and software development and of course a sales team.

The company is situated in Linz/Austria,
the technological hot spot of Austria.

In July 2020 we became a partner of the German Buss Energy Group, an important international player in on- an offshore
wind business.
