"We hope that this contract will serve as a platform for further assembly work in the renewable energy sector," said Automodular’s President & CEO, Chris Nutt.

At the peak of the contract, the facility will employ about 40 personnel. The work undertaken at the facility will help Vestas meet the Domestic Content Requirements under Ontario’s Feed-in Tariff Program.
