Danish firm Avanti Wind, has been doing business in the United States for many years, making service lifts used by technicians for inspecting and repairing wind turbines.
Avanti Wind has recently moved its production of aluminum ladders from Germany and China to Wisconsin. Even though the pace of wind development has slowed across the country Kent Pedersen, Avanti’s U.S. general manager stated we have done quite well in expanding our customer base in North America, and we’ve continued to grow in 2010 compared to 2009 and we expect that to continue next year.”
The local expansion of Avanti is a small example of creating jobs in which local economic development official’s hope will be a growth sector for Wisconsin.
Manufacturing is one of Wisconsin’s biggest industries and professionals in the wind industry are looking towards the state to help facilitate the industries growth. “It’s a market we look at and we see growth, we see jobs and we see capital investment,” said Jim Paetsch, business development specialist with the Milwaukee 7 regional economic development group, during the Wisconsin Solar Decade conference.
