The company has joined up with Evelop, the project development division of sustainable energy company Econcern, to construct between three and five wind turbines at the site.

Once completed, between 15,000 and 24,000 megawatt hours of energy per year will be produced, providing 10-20% of the energy needed to power the Tilburg production plant.
