What Cswind does

World's largest maker of steel towers for wind turbines, supplying onshore and offshore wind projects globally.

Fabricates towers to turbine makers' orders, mostly under multi-year supply arrangements, with steel cost passed through to buyers, and has plants in places such as China, Vietnam, Turkey and the US to sit near wind markets. Offshore foundations, a heavier, higher-value product, are a growth focus.
