A few days ago we celebrated several important milestones for our company. The most important of all is that we have more than 20 years of experience. But we are also celebrating the inauguration of wonderful offices in Torre Sevilla, which are a reflection of the growth we have experienced over these 20 years.
Our company was founded under the name of Green Power, under the shelter of the University of Seville more than two decades ago. Since then, we have devoted ourselves to working hard always with our values very present, with commitment, trust, excellence, exclusivity, a great value of knowledge and optimizing processes to guarantee profitability.
We were pioneers in our land, creating a project that is based on the development of clean energy. A highly sustainable project with an international vocation that in 2009 led us to be present in half the world. The internationalization of our solutions catapulted us towards new and ambitious horizons that we managed to cross to become one of the main players in the sector internationally.
And the successes continued, in 2012 we placed ourselves in the top 5 in the sector thanks to the launch of our WD platform. This milestone positioned us as an international benchmark in terms of grid connection solutions and energy storage systems.
The company evolved naturally and this led us to a new change of course, the end of a stage in which we called ourselves GP Tech and the birth of a new and exciting project, eks Energy. A renewed company, which is born with new hopes, but which maintains the spirit from which it emerged.
eks Energy represents commitment and exclusivity, but at the same time it is global and owes its success to all the people who are part of the project. It is made up of a diverse team, highly prepared and implicated in the project, thanks to which we have achieved all the challenges that we have set for ourselves as a company and without which we could not be experiencing the moment of growth and prosperity that we are going through.
For this reason, we wanted to celebrate this 20th anniversary with all of them. La Torre Sevilla, headquarters of our new offices, witnessed a wonderful evening that, in addition to our entire team, was enjoyed by some collaborators who have accompanied us throughout our career.
Special mention to Juan Manuel Carrasco and Eduardo Galván who were a fundamental piece for the creation of our company and whom we recognized with a small detail of gratitude for having been a fundamental piece for eks Energy, whatever it is today.
Now all that remains is to look to the future, which brings us new challenges that we look forward to. Challenges such as managing talent, moving towards sustainability and ensuring that our operations and development are friendly to the environment, social rights and good governance. All this while maintaining excellence with the focus always on innovation.
Thanks to all of you who have made possible these 20 years of work that have made us eks Energy, a global company of solutions that will shape the energy of tomorrow.
