Since 2024, is Bexco, a global player in synthetic ropes for the offshore and maritime industry, part of Bekaert. An important step in Bekaert's ambition to be the leading partner in shaping the way we live and move: safely, smartly and sustainably.
Supporting the energy transition, with sustainable solutions for markets such as new mobility and the production of hydrogen, is an important pillar in Bekaert's growth strategy. With the addition of Bexco, Bekaert is now also further deepening its expertise in rope technology in the promising offshore wind energy market. The sector requires innovative rope solutions that can permanently anchor floating wind turbines to the seabed.
By joining forces with Bekaert, Bexco can further expand its customer-centric approach, and look for new rope solutions for the most complex projects through the R&D department. For example, Bekaert is currently developing several solutions for the growth market of floating wind turbines, with smaller offshore wind farms off the coast of Spain and France, to be ready to produce custom ropes by 2027.
