Exel Composites PLC announced the completion of a new manufacturing site for its joint venture, Kineco Exel Composites India (KECI), near Goa, India. The facility was completed on time and will begin deliveries in the first quarter of 2025. The factory is designed to produce composites using pultrusion technology, primarily serving the wind power industry both in India and globally. Deliveries for a major wind turbine manufacturer will start ramping up in early 2025, and KECI also secured a contract to supply carbon planks for wind turbine spar caps to Vestas Wind Systems A/S, with deliveries expected to begin in late 2025. The investment was announced in July 2023, and production has been transferred from the old Goa facility. The new factory is part of Exel's growth strategy focused on sustainable applications.

The company will incur a one-time cash cost of EUR 1.7 million and a non-cash asset write-down of EUR 2.5 million in Q4 2024. The consultation process began on September 12, 2024, following a strategic review of the factory.
