Vestas has officially finalised the acquisition of a wind turbine blade factory in Goleniów near Szczecin.
The plant, previously owned by LM Wind Power, was transferred to the Danish company under an agreement signed on 15 May 2025, following the successful completion of all required regulatory procedures.
This transaction is part of the company’s strategy to expand its European production base and supply chain and aims to meet the growing demand for safe, competitively priced and sustainable energy on our continent.
The factory was launched in 2009 and expanded in 2017. It will continue to manufacture blades for Vestas onshore wind turbines, including the V172-7.2 MW turbine from the EnVentus platform.
Felix Henseler, Vestas’ Chief Technology and Operations Officer says: “Strengthening our manufacturing capacity is essential to meet Europe’s need for secure, affordable, and sustainable energy, and expand our industrial competitiveness. The addition of the Goleniów factory reinforces our commitment to scaling the wind industry and it underlines how Europe can spur wind industry investments and jobs with the right long-term policy commitments for wind energy”.
The acquisition of the plant strengthens the Danish company’s production capacity, increasing its competitiveness in Europe. At the same time, it allows LM Wind Power to focus its activities on production facilities serving the GE Vernova product portfolio.
As a result of the transaction, the employment of approximately 400 employees previously associated with LM Wind Power has been maintained, bringing the total number of Vestas employees in Poland to nearly 2,000.
Vestas also operates an assembly plant in Szczecin, where hubs and nacelles for the V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbine are manufactured. Both locations significantly strengthen the company’s ability to serve both the onshore and offshore wind energy segments in Europe and global markets.
