Description
Multinational wind turbine blades manufacturer LM Wind Power is to create 350 new jobs in its manufacture plant in Ponferrada (León). The business expansion stems from the increase in orders in Europe. This has led the company to open a new line of production. The management and the work committee are in the process of negotiating changes in the working time for the new production line.
The manufacture plant of Ponferrada has mantained the staff levels during the last years although in 2011 it was about to close.
