This is the initial public offering of TPI Composites, Inc. We are selling 7,250,000 shares of our common stock.

We expect the public offering price to be between $15.00 and $17.00 per share. Currently, no public market exists for the shares. After pricing of the offering, we expect that the shares will trade on The NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “TPIC”.

We are an “emerging growth company” under federal securities laws and, as such, will be subject to reduced public company disclosure standards. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”

Investing in our common stock involves risks that are described in the “ Risk Factors ” section beginning on page 21 of this prospectus.
