摘要

Observations from Vestas' US supply chain experience. Key motivation - Support the growth markets with localised production. Reduced lead time…Reduced logistics costs…Source in local currency. Colorado factors….Pool of talent, universities, land, rail network, support for renewables. Relatively straightforward transfer between Europe and US in terms of supplier culture. Good capacity to use transferable competences offset by lesser Wind Industry knowledge. Good spread of suppliers, categories and processes available. Search aided by established trade associations and Governmental support.
