The Balkan region, situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, boasts a unique geographical advantage. In recent years, the region has experienced rapid development in infrastructure construction, leading to a growing demand for energy equipment such as hydro turbines. Committed to providing high-quality, high-performance hydro turbines to global clients, the Forster team’s visit to its partners in the Balkans marks a significant step in its strategic expansion.
Upon arrival in the Balkans, the team immediately embarked on an intensive and productive visit. They held face-to-face meetings with several influential local partners, thoroughly reviewing the execution of past collaborative projects. The partners highly praised the outstanding performance of Forster’s hydro turbines, particularly in a 2MW small-scale hydropower plant project. The stable and efficient operation of the turbines played a crucial role in ensuring the project’s smooth progress, significantly enhancing power generation efficiency while reducing operational costs.
