Vestas takes over operations at LM Wind Power's Polish factory

Wind Power Monthly · last updated

Vestas has officially taken over operations at an onshore blades factory in Goleniów, north-west Poland, formerly operated by LM Wind Power, the manufacturer announced.

The deal, which was announced in May for an undisclosed sum, is part of Vestas’ goal to grow its European manufacturing footprint. 

The Goleniów factory has been manufacturing Vestas onshore wind turbine blades since 2009, and underwent an expansion in 2017 to keep up with growing demand. This includes producing blades for Vestas’ V172-7.2MW model.

All 400 former LM Wind Power employees are retained at the factory, Vestas added.

The company is also building an offshore wind hub, featuring blade and nacelle factories, in nearby Szczecin.
