Vestas has been building wind turbines since 1979 and currently holds the title of the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturer by installed capacity. Headquartered in Aarhus, Denmark, the company has installed over 185 GW of wind capacity across 88 countries — enough to power roughly 130 million homes. That’s more turbines spinning around the world than any other manufacturer.
The product line spans from the V110 for moderate wind sites to the V172 for low-wind onshore locations, plus the V236-15.0 MW offshore turbine — one of the most powerful in the world with a rotor diameter of 236 meters. Vestas doesn’t just build turbines; it offers full lifecycle services including site assessment, transportation, installation, and maintenance contracts that can run 25+ years. The service business generates steady recurring revenue that smooths out the cyclicality of turbine orders.
Revenue typically exceeds EUR 15 billion annually, and the company employs over 30,000 people worldwide. Manufacturing happens in Denmark, Germany, India, China, Brazil, and the United States. Vestas has navigated challenging years with supply chain disruptions, inflationary cost pressures, and pricing battles, but its scale and service backlog provide resilience. The company is also investing in recycling technology for turbine blades, partnering with chemical companies to develop processes that break down composite materials. Vestas trades on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange and remains central to global wind energy expansion plans.
