As part of their firm commitment to the UK wind market and their presence on the Isle of Wight, Vestas is relocating its testing related activities at West Medina Mills to the nearby St. Cross facility on Isle of Wight to make room for future expansion under consideration by MHI Vestas Offshore Wind.
Vestas will move their blade, bearing and material testing to St. Cross, so MHI Vestas can take full advantage of the West Medina Mills facility for offshore blade production. The relocation work begins this week. Some Vestas staff will remain at West Medina Mills. Vestas currently employs 130 people at Isle of Wight.
