From small fish by market size listed on BME Growth such as Kompuestos , Holaluz , Greenalia , Eidf , to green giants of the Ibex 35 such as Siemens Gamesa . And on the other side of the pond , Wallbox , specialized in the manufacture and sale of electric chargers, has just debuted on the New York parquet.
In most cases these are firms linked to clean energies and on the floor they are all designated with the green label, not all investors differentiate between the manufacturers of products that contribute to that gear, such as wind turbines or solar trackers , of electricity distributors or the builders and developers of parks.
