Having signed several major deals in the past months, such as the 600 MW combined capacity deal with Samsung C&T for wind energy projects in Ontario, Canada, or the latest wind turbine supply deal for 227 MW of capacity for the Crossroads wind farm in Oklahoma, Siemens is concentrating its manufacturing operations on the North American continent in order to be able to answer the growing demand for its products in this wind energy market. The company is planning to start operations at two North American manufacturing facilities by the end of 2010 – the nacelle manufacturing facility in Hutchinson, Kansas, and the blade manufacturing facility in Canada.
