Private Company Sales Transaction Databases
https://www.bvresources.com/

Free "Visitor Search" allows users to search the DealStats, BIZCOMPS, and FactSet/BVR databases for private company sales transaction data by SIC or NAICS Code using the following codes:

– SIC Code 3511 - Turbines and Turbine Generator Set Units Manufacturing

– NAICS Code 333611 - Turbine and Turbine Generator Set Units Manufacturing

Types of establishments included in these codes

Wind turbine manufacturers - establishments that manufacture wind turbines that convert wind energy into electrical power and range in size from small-scale units for individual use to large-scale installations for utility-scale power generation.

Rotor blade manufacturing - establishments specializing in the production of rotor blades that extend from the hub of the turbine and capture the kinetic energy of the wind as mechanical power that is transferred to the gearbox by the main shaft.

Hub production - establishments that specialize in the production of hubs that connect the rotor blades to the main shaft, which then transfers the mechanical power produced by the rotation of the rotor blades to the gearbox connected to the generator.

Pitch system producers - establishments that produce pitch systems that control the angle of the rotor blades and adjust their pitch to optimize the amount of wind energy captured and protect the turbine from excessive wind loads.

Nacelle manufacturing - establishments that specialize in manufacturing nacelles, which are large protective housings mounted on top of the tower that enclose the turbine's main shaft, generator, gearbox, and rotor blade control systems.

Gearbox producers - establishments that focus on the manufacture of gearboxes that are used to increase the rotational speed transferred from the turbine's rotor blades to a speed that is optimal for generating electrical power.

Generator manufacturers - establishments that manufacture generators that convert the mechanical power produced by the rotor blades into electrical energy that can be fed into the power grid or used directly by homes, businesses, or other facilities.

Tower production - establishments that specialize in the production of the large structural towers that support the nacelle, hub, and rotor blades of a turbine and elevate them to an optimal height above the surface to capture wind energy efficiently.
