Vestas is well familiar with nautical challenges. \u00a0In November 2012, the Vestas Sailrocket 2 broke world speed records, reaching a top speed of more than 68 knots. With this passion for the wind, Vestas CEO Anders Runevad is confident the Volvo Ocean Race will be a success for Vestas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of wind energy and where we have our market focus, the Volvo Ocean Race is a perfect match for us to engage with our customers, showcase our technology and strengthen our brand in some of our most important markets. This supports our new corporate strategy \u2018Profitable Growth for Vestas,<\/em>\u201d says Runevad.<\/p>\n

\u201cVolvo Ocean Race is the world\u2019s preeminent boat race, and as in our business, success hinges on utilizing the wind most effectively,<\/em>\u201d says Morten Alb\u00e6k, Vestas Chief Marketing Officer. \u201cThis is a privileged opportunity for Vestas to present our industry-leading products as well as create intimate surroundings for our key customers and stakeholders and promote wind energy\u2019s competitiveness.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n
