Ventower’s plant construction will complete late 2010. The company plans on building up to 250 towers per year and will begin deliveries by mid 2011.
Ventower Industries has broken ground on its 115,000 ft2, state of the art, wind-tower manufacturing facility. Earlier this year, the company’s design, the Ventower, won an advanced-energy manufacturing tax credit under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The company was one of 12 to received support from Michigan’s congressional delegation. The company says it is a full service fabricator and supplier of industrial scale, wind turbine towers. Focused on original equipment manufacturers, the company will provide wind towers to wind plants throughout the Great Lakes Region using readily accessible waterborne, rail, and truck transport options.
