Wärtsilä Expands Engine Production Capacity by Another 30 Percent
Wärtsilä announced a 30 percent production capacity expansion at its Vaasa, Finland facility, with investment exceeding $100 million and completion targeted for early 2029. This expansion follows a previous 35 percent capacity increase announced in February, bringing total capacity pledges for 2026 to 65 percent. The surge is driven by exceptional demand from energy markets and maritime industry, particularly fueled by U.S. data center growth requiring reliable power generation.
