Ventower Industries is building a 115,000 sq. ft, state of the art, wind tower manufacturing facility at the Port of Monroe. Earlier this year, Ventower was awarded an advanced-energy manufacturing tax credit under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Ventower was one of twelve companies that received bi-partisan support from Michigan’s congressional delegation.

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

“The construction of our wind tower manufacturing facility is well underway,” said CEO and President Gregory Adanin. “We will continue to collaborate with local officials and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation 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 eight months. Ventower plans to build up to 250 towers per year and will be taking orders for deliveries beginning in the first quarter of 2011.
