In 2003 the Danish worldwide operating wind mill company Vestas merged with another Danish company, NEG Micon. Together they have 9,000 employees. On March 17, Vestas announced that 500 employees would be dissmissed within the next two months as a result of the merger. No specific location was mentionned.
