The acquisition will help Ampair to manufacture wind turbines from 100W through to 20kW, which are used on locations ranging from yachts to powering farms and houses.

Ampair Energy managing director David Sharman said the completion of this deal puts the firm in a strong position for the future with business risk diversified against a wide portfolio of time-served turbine products, including three MCS-certified turbines.

"A particular strength of Ampair is the long term commitment to serving a global market and this reduces our exposure to short term local politics that can influence individual countries," Sharman added.

With minimal changes to staff, Ampair will continue to operate out of both its Dorset factory and also the former Westwind works in Antrim.

Ampair, which manufactures renewable energy power systems, has sold around 30,000 units to date.
