Vestas, the Danish wind turbine manufacturer and the world's largest company in the sector, has decided to establish operations in Kitakyushu. Approximately 40 hectares of industrial land in Wakamatsu Ward is being considered as a candidate site for the production base. The Wakamatsu area is already developing into a cluster for offshore wind power generation and related industries. Vestas' entry would mark a major step forward in Kitakyushu's efforts to establish the area as a comprehensive hub for the offshore wind industry.
