Vestas is to consolidate its Chinese and Asia-Pacific operations into one unit covering the Greater Asia region.
The Danish company said the newly-titled APAC division will be led by Purvin Paten, the current president of Asia Pacific, from 1 January.
With the consolidation, Vestas said it aims to allocate resources most efficiently to execute across manufacturing, construction and service with no impact on safety or quality.
This includes leveraging competencies across the Greater Asia region, especially at technology and manufacturing hubs in Tianjin, China and Chennai, India.
China will continue to play a “pivotal role” in Vestas’ global setup, serving markets across Asia and the rest of the world.
Current President of China, Thomas Keller, will become Chief Financial Officer of Vestas Latin America.
Chief executive Henrik Andersen said the move will strengthen the company’s regional setup to serve customers building their portfolio within both onshore and offshore.
It will also “cater for our substantial supply chain footprint in China and India, establish one united and stronger leadership team, and improve our foundation to build a strong and diverse talent pipeline”.
Purvin Patel said: “Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Vestas in the Greater Asia region. We want to build one bigger and bolder Vestas APAC where we will be able to accelerate the expansion of sustainable energy solutions and services.
“On behalf of the management team, I look forward to welcome the around 7,000 colleagues in the newly formed APAC region to embark on a journey that will undoubtedly transform countries in the region by putting the energy transition at the centre of the future sustainable era.”
