It needs to be built into the process from the start. At Ingeteam, we develop and manufacture power converters, generators and control systems for wind turbine manufacturers, complemented by services and aftermarket solutions. Quality is a core priority within our SQDC principle — Safety, Quality, Delivery and Cost — and is integrated throughout our product-development processes. APQP4Wind provides the structured methodology to support this approach in the wind industry, integrating quality assurance throughout the different stages of product development and helping make quality part of the process from the very beginning. ## Our Approach to APQP4Wind ![Expertise](https://sites.ingeteam.com/hubfs/Landings/WIND/2026/FC%20LV/Icons/Expertise.jpg) ### Expertise that goes beyond the standard - **The methodology is standard. Experience isn’t.** - Our track record in advanced product quality planning goes back more than a decade, with APQP4Wind applied since its adoption by the wind industry in 2018. ![Safety](https://sites.ingeteam.com/hubfs/Landings/H2/2025/Megalyzer/Safety.jpg) ### Speaking the same quality language - **APQP4Wind is a common language. We speak it fluently.** - A shared framework helps align processes, expectations and deliverables between Ingeteam and wind turbine OEMs throughout product development and qualification. ![Modular-1](https://sites.ingeteam.com/hubfs/Landings/H2/2025/Megalyzer/Modular-1.jpg) ### More than a documentation exercise - **APQP4Wind isn’t an add-on. It’s how we work.** - The methodology is integrated into our internal product-development processes, supported by trained and certified professionals across multiple disciplines. ## Aligned from the start. ![\_AOX1891\_web](https://sites.ingeteam.com/hubfs/Landings/WIND/2026/APQP4Wind/_AOX1891_web.jpg) ## A common quality framework for smoother OEM–supplier collaboration New-product development and qualification in the wind industry is a complex process involving different teams, requirements, steps and deliverables. When OEM and supplier work within the same APQP4Wind framework, both sides share a common understanding of the path ahead: what needs to happen, what is expected and what needs to be delivered. That alignment from the outset supports smoother collaboration throughout development and qualification and gives OEMs greater assurance that product development is being carried out within quality standards they recognize and accept. ## Quality alignment across the value chain. ![\_AOX2128\_web](https://sites.ingeteam.com/hubfs/Landings/WIND/2026/APQP4Wind/_AOX2128_web.jpg) ## Applying APQP4Wind as both supplier and customer Ingeteam experiences APQP4Wind from both sides of the customer–supplier relationship. As a supplier, we work within the framework alongside wind turbine OEMs. As a customer, we actively work with our own suppliers to encourage the integration of APQP4Wind methodology and requirements into their processes. Because product quality depends on more than one company, alignment across the supply chain matters. Extending a common approach to quality assurance helps create greater consistency in processes, expectations and documentation across the different parties involved in product development. ## APQP4Wind at Ingeteam ### Since 2018 - Applying APQP4Wind since its adoption by the wind sector, building on broader APQP experience. ### Embedded processes - Integrated into internal product-development procedures. ### Certified expertise - Certified personnel across multiple disciplines, including Design, Program Management, Supplier Quality Assurance, Manufacturing and After-sales. ### Across the value chain - Applying the approach both as a supplier to OEMs and in our relationship with our own supplier base. ![Logo-APQP4Wind-1](https://sites.ingeteam.com/hubfs/Landings/WIND/2026/APQP4Wind/Logo-APQP4Wind-1.jpg) MEMBERSHIP ## Part of the APQP4Wind community Ingeteam is an APQP4Wind Company Member, reflecting our commitment to the continued development and adoption of a common quality assurance methodology across the wind industry.
