Vestas’s relationship with TPI in Mexico was launched in April 2017, when the companies signed a supply agreement to cover Central and South America.

The initial deal included the establishment of two lines at the new 48,000m2 factory.

In May 2018, Vestas exercised its first option to expand the facility to four production lines.
