Vestas pushes expansion plans for Asia and US capacity

Danish turbine-maker Vestas is on track with ambitious plans to expand manufacturing capacity in the US and China, says chief executive Ditlev Engel. Its only cutbacks are in the UK, where it closed its Isle of Wight blade factory and a smaller plant in Southampton.

Vestas is shifting much of its production across the Atlantic to be closer to its markets in the US, such as this wind farm near Portland, Oregon
