The Company PowerCon

PowerCon is an international, medium-sized Danish engineering and manufacturing company, specialized in electrical power conversion, especially the development and production of full-scale electric power converters.

Beginnings

Founded in 2009 with strong ties to the world-famous Danish wind power industry, PowerCon found early success in supplying the wind turbine industry with its power conversion solutions.

Expanding and Shore Power

Around 2014, PowerCon increased its focus on the maritime industry. This journey began within shore power when an opportunity was seen to simplify the technology and make it more compact yet still efficient, resulting in lower costs and better return on investments.  Our have a strong focus on flexible and innovative shore power solutions that meet the customers’ individual needs the best way possible makes PowerCon a leading supplier in the industry.
