Monroe, MI – Ventower Industries (Ventower™) has taken another step forward by breaking ground on its 115,000 sq. ft, state of the art, wind tower manufacturing facility. The ceremony, held at its future manufacturing site at the Port of Monroe on March 30th, marks the culmination of persistent cooperative work between Ventower management, local, state and federal government development and funding agencies.

Earlier this year Ventower™ was awarded an advanced-energy manufacturing tax credit under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. The company was one of twelve companies that received bi-partisan support from Michigan’s congressional delegation.

Ventower™ is a full service fabricator and supplier of industrial scale, wind turbine towers. Focused on original equipment manufacturers, the company will provide high quality wind towers to it’s customers throughout the Great Lakes Region by using readily accessible waterborne, rail and truck transportation options.

“Our commitment to domestic manufacturing and renewable energy have been important drivers during our pre-construction efforts. We are enthused to have reached this important milestone,” said CEO and President Gregory Adanin. “We will continue to collaborate with local officials and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) to make Monroe and Southeast Michigan a regional center of advanced wind energy component manufacturing, education and innovation.”

It is expected that the plant’s construction will be completed in approximately nine months. Ventower™ plans on building up to 250 towers per year and will be taking orders for deliveries beginning in mid 2011.
