Siemens

Siemens is a German company. The wind turbine operation of Siemens Group is moved from its factory in Brande, (Denmark) to a factory in Cuxhaven (Germany). Danish knowledge and experience about wind turbines is not enough to saturate the fast-growing industry. The new manufacturing plant is scheduled to begin production in mid-2017 and the company will recruit more than 1,000 employees. The new plant will reduce ground-transport cost of turbine components as it allows large offshore components to be loaded directly onto transport vessels. In this case, reshoring production and concentration of firm competencies releases capacity for Danish manufacturing to produce more on-shore wind turbines in Denmark.
