Nordex has started production at its new blade manufacturing facility in Menemen, İzmir, Türkiye, in May 2026. The new site, located in the İzmir Free Trade Zone, covers a total land area of about 130,000 square metres, including a production building of around 90,000 square metres.
At full capacity, the plant is designed to manufacture up to 1,200 rotor blades per year across four shifts and will employ about 1,200 people in production and administrative roles.
The facility will produce rotor blades for the company’s latest turbine models, including the N163 and N175.
The plant will initially focus on supplying blades for projects awarded under Türkiye’s YEKA tenders, including the YEKA-4 and YEKA-5 programmes. The facility is also intended to support international markets, with plans to export blades for European wind energy projects.
