Northstar Wind Towers to produce modular towers Print E-mail
Tuesday, 12 February 2008

Northstar Wind Towers has begun operations to produce a new generation of MW towers for the wind industry.

The towers are engineered to individual turbine manufacturer's specifications and are sold as an integrated part of the turbine assembly. The company's modular design enables taller towers because its design allows the necessary wider base diameters that conventional tubular towers cannot provide due to transportation restrictions.  Northstar's towers may be transported on standard flatbed trucks. After 15 months of development and business planning, Northstar Wind Towers received initial funding from a private equity group. Upon conclusion of second stage financing a new, highly automated manufacturing facility in Blair, Nebraska, is targeted for construction.
