Description: Vestas is the world's leading producer of high-tech wind power systems. Vestas’ core business comprises the development, manufacture, sale, marketing and maintenance of wind power systems that use wind energy to generate electricity. In this section, you can find information about Vestas - from the history over the key figures and organisation structure to our vision, mission, values, strategy and goals. Vestas started to manufacture wind turbines in 1979 and has played an active role in this dynamic industry ever since. In 1987, Vestas began to concentrate exclusively on wind energy. Since then, the company has developed from a pioneer in the industry with a staff of around 60 to a global hi-tech market-leading group with more than 13,500 employees. At Vestas global experience and local expertise go hand in hand. Over the years, Vestas has built up a worldwide sales and service network. As a result, working relationships with turbine owners do not end with delivery. On the contrary, the final delivery of a turbine marks the beginning of close collaboration over a period of at least 20 years. In short, Vestas cares for its turbines, no matter where in the world they may be. This ensures that Vestas remains a truly trustworthy partner. Vestas was and is the pioneering turbine company in the New Zealand wind industry and has installed the great majority of operating multi-megawatt wind farms in the country. Vestas has offices in Wellington and in Palmerston North supported by regional offices in Melbourne, Australia.
