$175 million dollars in new tower orders are coming to Broadwind, Inc. for its Manitowoc manufacturing plant.
The company announced late Friday that the orders are from a leading global wind turbine manufacturer.
According to a Facebook post, the new business is for Broadwind Heavy Fabrications where the fulfillment of the order will begin this year and conclude by the end of 2024.
It was explained that tower sections will be produced at both the Abilene, Texas, and Manitowoc facilities.
Eric Blashford, President and CEO of Broadwind, said in a statement, “This transformational new tower order is an historic accomplishment for our entire team, one that further establishes Broadwind as the leading precision manufacturer of heavy fabrications advancing the global energy transition. He added, This important win will support a balanced production schedule over the next two years, materially increase system-wide facility utilization, and drive improved economies of scale across our organization.”
