Vestas has begun the integration of Vestas and MHI Vestas Offshore Wind (MVOW) into one organisation that is based on one shared operating model and unified culture.
The integration of the two companies includes combining, expanding, and simplifying existing functions within Vestas to meet market demand and create synergies. Consequently, Vestas intends to lay off approximately 220 colleagues in primarily Denmark and Great Britain, with the majority being in Denmark. No layoffs are expected of hourly paid employees. The organisational integration will continue throughout 2021 and include a consolidated and simplified organisational setup, which will be announced internally on February 1st. Vestas will now go into a consultation process with relevant employee representatives and aims to have clarity for most employees by end of January.
