Vestas Wind Systems A/S is a Danish manufacturer, seller, installer, and servicer of wind turbines. It is the largest in the world,〔Badstue Pedersen, Maria Berg. "(BTM: Vestas stadig nummer et )" ''Energy Supply'', 30 March 2015.〕〔〔 but due to very rapid growth of its competitors its market share decreased significantly from 28% in 2007. In 2012 it even lost its top position,〔(Greentech Media: A Record Year for World Wind Power in 2012 )〕 but regained it in 2013 with 13.1% market share.〔(Bloomberg: Vestas Regains Wind Turbine Market Share Lead in Navigant Study )〕 The company operates manufacturing plants in Denmark, Germany, India, Italy, Romania, the United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Australia, China, and the United States, and employs more than 17,000 people globally.〔
==History ==
Vestas was founded in 1945 by Peder Hansen as "Vestjysk Stålteknik A/S" (West-Jutlandish steel technology). The company initially manufactured household appliances, moving its focus to agricultural equipment in 1950, intercoolers in 1956, and hydraulic cranes in 1968. It entered the wind turbine industry in 1979,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.vestas.com/en/about/profile#!from-1971-1986 )〕 and produced wind turbines exclusively from 1989.〔
In 2003, the company merged with the Danish wind turbine manufacturer NEG Micon to create the largest wind turbine manufacturer in the world, under the banner of Vestas Wind Systems. After a sales slump and an operational loss in 2005,〔 Vestas recovered in 2006 with a 28% market share〔 and has continued to increase production although market share has slid to between 12.5〔Reddall, Braden. (Vestas will not chase market share at any price ) Reuters/BTM Consult, 1 September 2010. Retrieved 30 December 2010.〕 and 14%〔Acher, John. (Vestas kept No. 1 spot in wind market -consultant ) Reuters/MAKE, 17 March 2010. Retrieved 30 December 2010.〕 as other manufacturers have also increased production.
Vestas recovered and was voted ''Top Green Company of 2006''.〔(Portfolio 21: Vestas Wind Systems Top Green Company of 2006 ). Environmentalleader.com (29 January 2007).〕 In February 2009, the company announced the production of two new turbine types, the 3-megawatt V112 and 1.8-megawatt V100. The new models were to be available in 2010.〔(Invest in Denmark )〕 As of 2011, Vestas wind turbines generated enough electricity to provide for 21 million people. In January 2011, Vestas won the $1.5m (£940,000) Zayed Future Energy Prize in Abu Dhabi. Danish engineers ranked Vestas leadership as number 100 in 2013, 51 in 2014, and 15 in 2015.〔http://karriere.jobfinder.dk/artikel/vestas-fik-rette-mand-paa-rette-tidspunkt-3143〕
