【SMM Flash News】Vestas to Cut 440 Jobs at Danish Nacelle Factory Amid Optimization Efforts

Published: Mar 30, 2026 22:37
Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas plans to cut approximately 440 production jobs at its Lindo nacelle factory in Denmark, citing increased production efficiency and reduced takt time. The company is exploring redeployment options for affected employees within its 7,000-strong Danish workforce. This move follows a previous announcement to reduce its global office headcount by 900 positions by the end of 2025. Conversely, driven by strong offshore wind demand in the UK, Vestas has simultaneously announced plans to invest in a new nacelle and hub factory in Scotland.
