Skykon, who took over the factory from Vestas in March 2009, are now on track to begin production of off-shore turbine towers on the site, which until now has been primarily focused on towers for the on-shore market.
This will leave Skykon well placed to compete for supply to the off-shore market, including the three major fields off the west coast of Scotland in respect of which Crown Estates have recently granted exploratory licences (Argyll Array (off Tiree ), Islay & Kintyre )
