His Majesty the King Frederik X of Denmark, Vestas CEO Henrik Andersen, Szczecin Mayor Piotr Krzystek and WindEurope Deputy CEO Malgosia Bartosik took part in Vestas' foundation stone ceremony for its new nacelle and hub assembly factory in Szczecin, Poland.
The new offshore nacelle and hub assembly factory is expected to begin operations in 2025 and will create 700 direct jobs. Vestas also just announced plans to establish a second factory in Szczecin to produce offshore blades. Taken together, the two factories could create more than 1.700 direct jobs by 2026.
WindEurope Deputy CEO Malgosia Bartosik said: ‘’Vestas’ investment in Szczecin is fantastic news. It will make Europe’s wind supply chain more resilient and help boost our energy security. The European wind industry has been through a tough time, but it’s roaring back. This event shows the industry is doing what it takes to deliver on our climate and energy targets.’’
