Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy will retain a significant supply chain in Spain for the long-term and remain loyal to its “deep roots” in the country, said chief executive Markus Tacke.

In his first major corporate event since taking the reins at the newly-created wind OEM in May, Tacke told the Siemens Gamesa annual general meeting that the multinational nature of the company would not dent its commitment to the Spanish wind manufacturing sector that underpinned the success of the former Gamesa business.
