With this acquisition, K2 Management is now integrated into Ramboll Group, significantly boosting Ramboll’s wind expertise, which has grown at an annual rate of 25% over the past three years.
Ramboll’s Global Wind Division, led by Tim Fischer, anticipates full operational integration by the first half of 2025.
The combined wind division now includes over 900 experts across 20 countries, with new presences in Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, and Portugal. This integration aligns with Ramboll’s goal of expanding its wind business to over 1,000 experts by 2025 to meet the rising global demand.
K2 Management co-founder Lars K Hammershøj noted that the combined expertise will allow Ramboll to offer comprehensive services in offshore and onshore wind and solar, supported by additional resources to handle large-scale projects. The acquisition also unlocks synergies with other Ramboll divisions, allowing for expanded services across renewable energy and energy systems.
