KK Group is a global technology partner that supports customers in electrifying and decarbonising their operations at scale. With more than four decades of engineering experience, the company designs, manufactures and services integrated systems within power and control, cooling, and monitoring technologies.
Interview with Johnny Nymann Stephansen, Chief Technology Officer at KK Group.
A brief description of the company and its activities
Johnny Nymann Stephansen: Our solutions are brought to market through three business divisions – Power & Controls, Cooling, and Monitoring & Service – and are widely used in renewable energy, particularly wind, as well as in energy-intensive industries.
What are the main areas of activity of the company?
J.N.S: We operate across the full value chain, from early system design and engineering through to manufacturing, installation, retrofit and long-term service.
From a technical perspective, our work focuses on four key areas: power conversion and control systems, cooling and thermal management, monitoring and digital solutions, and lifecycle services. This includes everything from converters and control panels to condition monitoring, analytics, spare parts and upgrades.
This end-to-end approach allows us to optimise not just individual components, but the performance of entire systems over their lifetime.
What’s the news about new products/services?
J.N.S: A key development in our portfolio is the shift from individual components towards more modular and integrated system platforms. These platforms are designed to be adaptable across different applications, helping customers scale more efficiently. At the same time, we are increasingly combining hardware, software and data to create more intelligent systems. By integrating monitoring and analytics, we enable greater predictability, improved uptime and better overall performance.
We are also closely following developments in areas such as energy storage, where our existing capabilities in power, control and system integration are highly relevant.
What are the ranges of products/services?
J.N.S: Our portfolio spans power conversion systems, converters, control panels, cooling and thermal systems, and advanced monitoring (vibration and condition monitoring), complemented by SCADA & controls software. We also provide spare parts, retrofit/upgrade solutions, and comprehensive field services across repairs, maintenance, and engineering support.
What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
J.N.S: Electrification and decarbonisation continue to reshape both the energy sector and industrial markets. Wind energy remains a key growth driver, while many industries are accelerating efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.
At the same time, customers are placing greater emphasis on reliability, scalability and lifecycle value. This is increasing the demand for solutions that not only perform well at installation, but continue to deliver value over time.
What can you tell us about market trends?
J.N.S: We see a clear expansion of electrification into new sectors beyond traditional renewables, particularly within industrial applications. There is also a growing demand for modular and standardised solutions, which can be deployed more quickly and scaled more easily.
Another important trend is the increasing role of digitalisation. Monitoring, predictive maintenance and data-driven services are becoming essential for maximising availability and extending asset lifetime.
At the same time, supply chain resilience and cost efficiency are becoming critical, driving a stronger focus on standardisation and design for manufacturability.
What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
J.N.S: One example of our innovation approach is the Bionic Busbar. By rethinking the design and geometry, we are able to reduce material usage while maintaining high electrical performance.
This results in lighter, more efficient and more sustainable power solutions. It also reflects our broader focus on improving performance at system level, not just at component level.
What estimations do you have for the beginning of 2026?
J.N.S: We expect continued momentum in wind energy and a steady increase in electrification across industrial sectors. At the same time, we see growing interest in areas such as energy storage, where system integration and reliability will be key.
Overall, the direction is clear: customers are looking for solutions that are reliable, efficient, and scalable, and that deliver value across the entire lifecycle. That is where we at KK Group continue to focus our efforts.
