Vestas to build wind turbine factory at former Ford Geelong plant

Vestas partnered with Marand Precision Engineering to build a $3.5 million wind turbine component factory at the former Ford Motors site in Geelong, Australia, creating about 20 direct jobs. The factory will produce drivetrains and hubs for two nearby wind farms.

“Vestas is committed to building new skills in the local workforce in Geelong, and with our wind turbine component assembly and testing capability, we are helping build on Geelong’s background as a heavy manufacturing hub and use that to establish a renewable energy hub.”smh.com.au
