Nordex plans to extend the company's Rostock production facilities. The investment budget is initially valued at?€ 86 million and provides for an extension in annual capacity from a current 850MW to 2,000MW in 2010.
This applies to the assembly of wind turbines, with rotor blade production to be increased no less than threefold. Nordex is making major extensions to its facilities at its existing site at the Rostock port. Over a period of three years, production facilities with a floor area of around 70,000 square meters are to be built on premises measuring 220,000 square meters. In addition, Nordex has medium-term plans for further foreign facilities. Nordex can only satisfy the rising global demand if it has sufficient production capacities on all continents. Accordingly, the existing facilities in China are to be extended, while thought is being given to the establishment of a production presence in the USA.
