Vestas installed its first wind turbine in 1979 and has since played an active role in the fast-moving wind power industry. From being a pioneer in the industry with a staff of approximately 60 in 1987, we are today a global, market-leading group with over 15,000 people employed. We are the leading producer of high technological wind power solutions.
Our core business includes development, manufacturing, sales, marketing and maintenance of wind power systems that use wind energy to produce electricity.
