Press Release:
News release from Vestas Wind Systems A/S
Aarhus, 5 September 2025
This week, Vestas officially took over operations at the onshore blades factory in Goleniów near Szczecin, Poland, previously owned by LM Wind Power. This follows the agreement signed on 15 May 2025 and the successful completion of all necessary regulatory approvals.
The acquisition marks another step in Vestas’ strategic expansion of its European manufacturing footprint and supply chain to meet future demand and contribute to Europe’s growing need for secure, affordable, and sustainable energy.
The factory was established in 2009, expanded in 2017 and will continue to deliver blades for Vestas onshore wind solutions, including the V172-7.2 MW EnVentus turbine.
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”.
All approximately 400 former LM Wind Power employees are retained, which increases Vestas’ footprint in Poland to almost 2,000 employees.
Vestas also operates an assembly factory in Szczecin, which manufactures hubs and nacelles for the V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbine. Together, these two facilities strengthen Vestas’ ability to serve both onshore and offshore markets in Europe and globally. The company believes strongly in the potential of the Polish market and remains committed to investing in local manufacturing and talent to support the region’s energy ambitions.
