Wausaukee wins turbine orders

WAUSAUKEE COMPOSITES Inc, Wausaukee, Wisconsin, USA, has been awarded contracts for the supply of wind turbine nacelle housings to two undisclosed manufacturers of wind turbine generators. Wausaukee expects the two agreements to generate over US$35 million in total sales over a three-year period.

Wausaukee will manufacture the nacelle cover assemblies both at its Wausaukee plant and at a new manufacturing plant it has recently acquired in Cuba City, Wisconsin. The company will also add approximately 30 employees at its Wausaukee plant to support the manufacture of nacelle components. Initial shipments of wind turbine nacelles from the Wausaukee plant will begin this month.

The first new contract is a three-year supply agreement for nacelle housings, spinning hubs and nosecone assemblies for 1.5 MW wind turbines. Wausaukee Composites will supply approximately 600 nacelle housing assemblies over the three-year period. The second deal involves the supply of more than 500 nacelle housings to a separate wind turbine manufacturer, over a three-year period. Wausaukee supply turbine nacelle housings and secondary hardware assemblies for the company’s 2.5 MW turbine.
