LM Wind Power announced 4th blade factory in China which adds another blade factory to its global manufacturing set up. Factory is expected to create 500 jobs and start production in July 2017.

The new facility will be located in the Baodi district of China, 40 km from LM Wind Power’s existing plant in Tianjin that was established in 2001 as the first foreign wind industry company in the area.

LM Wind Power CEO, Marc de Jong said that It is a great pleasure to announce this new blade plant in China as another example of the strong demand for LM Wind Power products and the rapid growth of the company right now. He would like to thank their local partners, represented by the Jiu Yuan Industrial Park in Baodi and their launch customer, GE Renewable Energy, for helping them realize this exciting new project. The Baodi site is a great location for serving their local and global customers in China, with close proximity to the highway and only 50 km to the Tianjin Port.

The recruitment for the Baodi operations has commenced and the company is investing significantly in training for the new colleagues over the coming months.
