Vestas establishes nacelle assembly factory in Spain

As a step to strengthen Vestas’ position in Castilla y León and in Spain in general, the Vestas Group has decided to establish a nacelle assembly factory in Villadangos, in the province of Castilla y León, on land developed by the regional government. The factory, to be built inside a 25,000 square-metre plot, will specialise in production of V90 wind turbines. The factory is expected to be put into operation during the first half of 2006 and, when fully operational, the factory will have an annual capacity of 300 nacelles and is expected to generate employment for up to 150 people. The total investment in production equipment, land and buildings is expected to amount to € 10 million.
