en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Nordex Group has officially commissioned its new blade factory in Menemen, within the Izmir Free Trade Zone in Turkey, marking a significant step in strengthening the company's manufacturing presence in the country.

The new facility covers a total area of approximately 130,000 square meters, with the production building spanning around 90,000 square meters. At full capacity, the factory is designed to operate on a four-shift system, producing up to 1,200 rotor blades annually and employing approximately 1,200 people in production and administrative roles. The factory will manufacture rotor blades for Nordex's latest turbine models, including the N163 and N175. These models are designed for medium-to-strong wind conditions and are key components for enhancing energy output and efficiency.

The factory's initial goal is to supply contracts awarded under Turkey's YEKA tender projects (including the YEKA-4 and YEKA-5 programs). At the same time, the factory is strategically positioned to serve international markets, with plans to export blades to support European wind power projects. José Luis Blanco, CEO of the Nordex Group, stated that the commissioning of the new factory is a key milestone in the company's efforts to strengthen its manufacturing presence in Turkey and support the country's long-term growth strategy. By investing in local production capacity, Nordex not only contributes to the development of Turkey's wind power industry but also enhances its ability to meet localization requirements under YEKA specifications.

Turkey is an important market for Nordex. The company entered the country in 2009 and has been the market leader since 2017, holding a market share of approximately 34%. The investment in the Menemen blade factory reflects Nordex's strong market position and growth trajectory in the onshore wind sector.

About the Nordex Group: Since 1985, the group has installed over 64 GW of wind power capacity in more than 40 markets, with consolidated sales of approximately €7.6 billion in 2025. The company currently employs over 11,100 people and has a manufacturing network that includes factories in Germany, Spain, Brazil, India, and the United States. Its product portfolio focuses on onshore turbines in the 4 to 7+ MW class, and its global service network ensures smooth turbine operation. Nordex SE is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany and is a component of the MDAX and TecDAX indices (ISIN: DE000A0D6554).
