HUTCHINSON, Kan. — While second quarter earnings were not a positive thing, there is good news on the local front for Siemens Gamesa.
The wind turbine maker tells Hutch Post that it has called back most of the workforce that was furloughed last month.
Siemens announced April 4 it would lay off 200 workers from the Hutchinson plant because of supply chain issues associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Myca Welch with Siemens Gamesa said that a number of workers were called back April 27 and the remaining employees returned to work on Monday.
Even better news is that the manufacturer has built a record order backlog of $26.3 billion including a 13% increase in onshore orders over the past year.
