Since Siemens Wind Power took over the windmill producing company Bonus Energy in 2004, the company has hired 500 more employees. At the end of November 2005 Siemens Wind Power announced that the workforce will be strenghtened with further 500 employees during 2006. It is expected that a number of employees from another windmill manufacturer, Vestas, that was made redundant in the beginning of 2005 will be hired at Siemens. The new employees will be employed at the factories in Brande and Aalborg (both Jutland).
