Introducing Vestas Machining A/S
Vestas Machining A/S is the heart of where Vestas began. Located in Lem, a town commonly known as Vestas Village. It is located only 30 km (19 miles) from Denmark’s west coast, and only 12 km (7 miles) from Ringkøbing, where one of our towers production facilities is located.
Presently employing approximately 250 people, this facility’s primary activities include the CNC processing, turning, and milling of cast iron and aluminium for components such as the foundation frames, main shafts, and blade hubs.
The machining factory is part of the Vestas Nacelles A/S Production Business Unit (PBU), one of four PBUs.
A little history
Vestas Machining A/S – Lem was built in 1985 as a factory only site. Then, in 1992, and again in 1999, the site was developed to accommodate the much needed office complex. Today, you will find a small Vestas “village” that includes the machining factory and administration offices for the Vestas Blades PBU and Technology R & D.
In 1996, Vestas Machining A/S – Lem was awarded “Meritorious performance for Danish Export 1996” by Danish Prince Henrik de Montpezat.

Sights and surroundings
Lem is situated only 20 minutes from Denmark’s “happiest town” Ringkøbing. There you can enjoy all the conveniences of a harbour town, plus some: shopping, dining, picnics in the park, day trips to the museums, bird watching in the Nature Reserves, and more. Or, you can drive 10 minutes to Velling on the coast of the Ringkøbing Fjord for a day at the beach – windsurfing, cycling, or just kicking back. Århus, Denmark’s 2nd largest city, is only 2 hours away by car – a perfect destination for a weekend trip.
