Partner Group
PowerCon was founded in 2009 by Kim B. Larsen and Allan H. Jørgensen, with Peter C. Knudsen joining the partner group soon after. With several years of experience from the wind turbine industry, they set out with a clear vision to design and manufacture much more innovate power conversion solutions. After finding early success with supplying wind turbine OEMs, PowerCon’s modular and flexible design soon started taking off in the shore power industry where the containerized approach has become our trademark.
The partner group quickly recognized the potential in shore power along with PowerCon’s clear differentiation of providing a much simpler way to construct these systems yet keeping them efficient and reliable. With a strong focus on flexibility for all project aspects, PowerCon quickly became a leading supplier in the industry and is today recognized as an industry front runner, supplying its modular and scalable shore power solutions to ports around the world.
Our Company
Today, PowerCon’s team consists of over 200 employees with the majority based at our headquarters in the historical town of Hobro, Denmark. Our new facility was built in 2024 and consists of 2500 m² (27000 sq. ft.) office space with an additional 3500 m² (37700 sq. ft.) for production, assembly, and warehousing, equipped with overhead gantry cranes as well as high and low voltage grid connections so we can test our full range of products in-house before they are shipped out.
PowerCon’s team consists largely of highly skilled and experienced hardware and software developers, engineers, and electrical system designers who with an innovative and dynamic approach develop state-of-the-art converters and shore power solutions. PowerCon also collaborates with a range of highly skilled subcontractors who help ensure that only the best materials and components are utilized in our solutions.
