Davi, in collaboration with Titan Wind Energy, completed the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for four heavy-duty plate rolls designed for offshore wind tower and monopile manufacturing. The FAT was carried out in Week 46 at Davi’s headquarters in Cesena, Italy. A delegation from Titan Wind Energy was present to validate machine performance and readiness.
The four machines, engineered for Titan Wind’s offshore production expansion, comprise one of the largest equipment packages ever supplied by Davi to a single wind-sector client. The equipment includes MCB and MAV series plate rolls customized for ultra-thick, high-strength steel plates required for next-generation offshore foundations.
With the FAT successfully concluded, the project now moves to the next phase.
The first MCB plate roll is set to ship in the coming weeks, with phased deliveries of the remaining machines. Installation and commissioning at Titan Wind Energy’s facility are scheduled for mid-2026, in line with the manufacturing roadmap for large-scale offshore components.
A Successful FAT and Steps Toward Increased Offshore Capacity
Robert Zieske, Head of Production at Titan Wind Energy, emphasized the significance of the achievement: ”The successful completion of the FAT is a major step in expanding Titan Wind Energy’s global offshore manufacturing capabilities. The performance, precision, and robustness of the Davi plate rolls met our expectations. We anticipate integrating these machines into our production lines to accelerate our offshore ambitions.”
Stefano Santoni, Director of the Wind Energy & Heavy-Duty Division at Davi, highlighted the collaboration’s strategic importance: ”Collaborating with Titan Wind Energy on this project has been an honor and showcases Davi’s capacity to support leading renewable-energy manufacturers. These machines represent our highest engineering level, tailored to meet Titan Wind’s technical challenges and production goals for the offshore wind market.”
Enhancing the Offshore Wind Supply Chain
As offshore wind foundations grow in size and complexity, advanced plate-rolling technology is crucial to meet global demand. Davi’s plate rolls for Titan Wind Energy are designed to support:
· Extra-wide and extra-thick plate rolling
· High-strength steels used in offshore monopiles and towers
· Automated precision for repeatability and efficiency
· Production scalability for future challenges
This project strengthens Davi’s role as a key supplier to top offshore wind fabricators.
