Spain – 21 September 2026 – Quality assurance has long been an integral part of how Ingeteam approaches new-product development for the wind industry. As a supplier of power converters, generators and control systems to wind turbine manufacturers, as well as services and aftermarket solutions, Ingeteam is involved throughout the lifecycle of wind assets, from product development and manufacturing to operation and life extension. Quality is embedded throughout these activities, involving different disciplines from the earliest stages of development.
Within this broader approach, Ingeteam uses APQP4Wind as a common framework for working with wind turbine OEMs, helping align processes, expectations and deliverables throughout product development and qualification. The company has applied APQP4Wind since 2018, building on more than a decade of experience in advanced product quality planning.
APQP4Wind provides the wind industry with a common language and structured approach to quality, from concept to serial production. For complex development projects involving multiple teams and requirements, this shared framework gives OEM and supplier a common understanding of the process and what needs to be delivered, supporting smoother collaboration from the outset.
At Ingeteam, applying APQP4Wind is more than a documentation exercise. The methodology is integrated into the company’s product-development processes and supported by trained and certified professionals across multiple disciplines, including Design Engineering, Process Engineering, Program Management, Supplier Quality Assurance, Manufacturing and After-sales.
“Quality is built into the way we develop our products, from the earliest stages and across the different teams involved. APQP4Wind supports that approach by providing a common framework with our OEM customers, helping us align expectations, processes and deliverables throughout product development.”
Jorge Haya, Managing Director, Ingeteam Wind Energy & H2 Systems
Ingeteam also works to extend this alignment beyond its direct relationship with OEMs. As a customer, the company encourages its own suppliers to integrate APQP4Wind methodology and requirements into their processes where relevant, promoting greater consistency in quality processes, expectations and documentation.
As an APQP4Wind Company Member, Ingeteam supports the continued development and adoption of a common approach to quality assurance across the wind industry. For Ingeteam, APQP4Wind complements an established way of working in which quality is integrated throughout product development — built in from the start.
