As part of the agreement, SGRE agreed to obtain Senvion’s European onshore service, its intellectual property, its onshore blade manufacturing facility in Vagos, and 2,000 Senvion employees will transfer to SGRE.

SGRE intends to make Ria Blades factory an export hub for international markets to minimise the company’s production dependency on Asian suppliers.

Siemens Gamesa onshore CEO Alfonso Faubel said: “The acquisition of Senvion’s Ria Blades factory was an opportunity we could not afford to miss.

“It is one of Europe’s most competitive plants, a cutting-edge facility that is very complementary to our existing footprint. The new plant will help us to serve different markets with different models and we will do this meeting the highest standards in the quality of manufacturing.”
