Siemens today celebrated the topping out ceremony for its new wind turbine manufacturing facility in Cuxhaven in Germany.
The company said structural steel uprights are in place for the production building, which will provide 56,000 square metres of floor space.
The €200m facility is scheduled for completion by mid-2017 when it will start producing nacelles for Siemens’ next-generation offshore wind turbines.
Siemens said it has already received almost 1600 job applications for work at the facility.
