Vestas blowing off 350 jobs in Jutland

Danish wind turbine producer Vestas has revealed it will be letting go 350 employees at its plant in Lem in west Jutland. The company said in a press release that the move was necessary in order to strengthen its ability to compete. The redundancies, making up over a third of the total workforce in Lem, will take place at the end of this year. “Our flexible and scalable production set-up is one of the primary elements in our current success, and it is a business strategy we will follow going forward,” said Jean-Marc Lechêne, the COO of Vestas.
