Global Strategy – Regional Supply Chains
Eickhoff manfs gearboxes in Germany for export to U.S.
Nordex assembles turbines in Jonesboro Arkansas but desires domestic supply chain
Vela’s plans are to contract manufactureEickhoff gearboxes in the U.S. for Nordex,and repair all wind turbine drives for theU.S. market, by acquiring Brevini Wind USA

Global Strategy – Regional Supply Chains
Note: Nordex turbines use Eickhoff gearboxeswhich are imported from Germany at high cost,GE imports nearly $1 billion from China
