Molded Fiber Glass Companies (MFG) opened a new wind turbine manufacturing plant in Aberdeen, South Dakota (USA) that will manufacture blades for GE's 1.5-megawatt machine.

The new facility will be owned by the Aberdeen Development Corporation (ADC), and leased and operated by MFG, representing a US$40 million investment and the creation of up to 750 new jobs. The facility will also enable MFG to increase the volume of wind turbine blade sets being supplied to GE Energy, starting in 2008.
