CS Wind
South Korean wind turbine manufacturer
CS Wind is a South korean wind turbine tower manufacturer. The company's name comes from a pseudonym used by the founder's son, "ChoongSan (Korean: 중산; Hanja: 重山; RR: Jungsan; MR: Chungsan)", and means "a heavy mountain that can endure every hardship."
01History
Company founder Gim Seong-gon worked for a building supply company in Saudi Arabia. In 1984, he founded his own construction firm there, and the firm expanded and began manufacturing construction materials and parts. Later, the firm made chimneys for fossil fuel burning plants. CS Wind began in 1988, although the name came later. The firm transitioned from building chimneys to wind turbine towers in 2003.
02Locations
CS Wind has manufacturing facilities in China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Turkey, Portugal, the United States, and Vietnam. The firm's US factory in Pueblo, Colorado was acquired from Vestas in 2021 and is undergoing a large expansion. It is the world's largest wind turbine tower manufacturing facility.
