DMI Industries, a leading manufacturer of wind generator towers, has named Stefan Nilsson as president of the West Fargo, North Dakota-based company.
A company press release says he’ll lead a company that has its fingers in several other alternative energy sources:
“I am impressed with DMI’s recent expansion activity and excited to help guide the company’s strategic direction and future success,” Nilsson said. “The wind energy sector holds tremendous opportunity, and DMI will continue to grow as a leader in tower manufacturing.”
A native of Sweden, Nilsson moved to the United States more than 20 years ago. He holds a master’s in mechanical engineering and received his MBA in International Business Management from the University of Uppsala, Sweden. He will relocate from Michigan to the Fargo area.
DMI is a heavy steel wind tower manufacturer with plants located in North Dakota, Oklahoma and Ontario, Canada. The company also has capabilities to produce equipment for a wide variety of industries, including agricultural processing; ethanol production; oil and gas extraction, processing and refining; and water and waste water processing.

“We’re always cautious when we review the March projections, because they are made before any seeds really enter the ground,” said Ron Litterer, NCGA president. “The corn acreage projections also have a tendency to go up. Last year, for example, there was a difference of more than 3 million acres between the March estimate and the final number.” Litterer pointed out USDA’s March report has underestimated actual corn acres in the each of the last four years.
In Michael Grunwald’s March 27 article “The Clean Energy Scam,” corn-based ethanol is the scapegoat of the week.
