The Port of Aveiro has granted two more plots of land to South Korean giant CS Wind, the world’s largest wind tower manufacturer, where it will build a floating offshore foundation factory, its fourth in Portugal.

The world leader in wind towers has just secured two more plots of land with a total area of 121.362 square meters, adjacent to the company’s current facilities in the Logistics and Industrial Activities Zone (ZALI) of the Port of Aveiro.

Also in the ZALI of the Port of Aveiro, the Korean company already has two industrial units in operation dedicated to the manufacture of equipment for the production of offshore wind energy, where it already employs 1.200 people.

CS Wind opened a new wing in its industrial facilities in Portugal in May.

The official ceremony was attended by the administrators of AICEP, João Noronha Leal and Rita Branco, Cho Yeongmo, Ambassador of South Korea in Portugal, the management of the company and various municipal authorities.

The entry into Portugal came after the acquisition of ASM, a process that began in 2021 with the purchase of 60% of the company and ended in February of the following year with the obtaining of the remaining 40%.

Exporting to Europe and the United States of America, CS Wind is currently located in countries with the US itself, Vietnam, Taiwan, China, Malaysia, Turkey and Denmark.
