Windar Renovables, a subsidiary of the Spanish industrial group Windar, is building a new production plant for offshore wind turbine towers in Szczecin, located on Ostrów Grabowski island in the West Pomeranian region of Poland. The investment is expected to create around 450 new jobs and represents a significant expansion of the company’s manufacturing capacity in the offshore wind sector.
The investment, launched in May 2025 and scheduled for completion by the end of the year, responds to rising demand for offshore wind infrastructure and will include four production lines, raw-material warehouses, and internal assembly halls. In parallel, the company is also started building another wind-tower production plant in the Legnica Special Economic Zone, further expanding its manufacturing footprint in Poland.
Windar Renovables is a global supplier of steel wind-turbine towers for onshore and offshore projects, serving renewable energy markets worldwide.
