Ammonit Wind Tunnel GmbH

What Ammonit Wind Tunnel GmbH does

Ammonit Wind Tunnel GmbH (AWT) is a German private limited company founded in 2015 in Bargeshagen near Rostock as a joint venture between Ammonit Measurement GmbH and WIND-consult GmbH. It operates a single dedicated Göttingen-type wind tunnel with a 1.2m x 1.2m nozzle cross-section, maximum flow velocity of 30 m/s, less than 0.2% turbulence intensity, and a fully automatic turning and tilting device, supported by Prandtl tubes, differential pressure sensors, and a Laser Doppler Anemometer for precision flow measurement.

The company is a DAkkS-accredited calibration laboratory under DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 (since 2017, extended in 2018 to flow direction and inclined sensors) and a MEASNET member that actively participates in the Anemometer Calibration Expert Group. Its primary commercial offering is accredited calibration and classification of cup, propeller, and ultrasonic anemometers and wind vanes, with secondary lines covering custom flow measurements and aerodynamic testing on landscape profiles or 3D models, plus wind tunnel design and construction in cooperation with Baltic Windtunnel and WIND-consult GmbH. Approximately 3,000 calibrations per year have been performed since commercial launch in May 2017.

AWT generates revenue through professional services on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go model with unit-level pricing per sensor calibration, supplemented by project-based revenue from flow measurement studies and wind tunnel build engagements. Its direct, sales-led go-to-market targets wind energy developers, meteorological institutes, and environmental monitoring organizations, primarily in Germany and EMEA. The customer base is horizontal across these use cases, with no named enterprise anchors and limited digital marketing presence beyond its website, social media accounts, and MEASNET network participation.
