DANISH wind turbine blade manufacturer LM Glasfiber has started production in a new factory in China. The facility, around 90 km from Beijing, will initially produce rotor blades for 750 kW wind turbines. This factory will provide LM with access to the growing Chinese market, which is among the ten largest markets in the world, measured by installed wind power capacity. LM says it is currently building its longest blade to date (43.8 m) which will initially be mounted on a 2.5 MW Nordex N90 turbine. LM Glasfiber; tel: +45-79840000; fax: +45-7984-0001.
