Wind Energy Services Company Consolidates Operations in Texas

GAINESVILLE, Texas, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Wind Energy Services Company (WES) announced today that effective October 01, 2010 the company's base of operations will be relocated to Gainesville, TX.  Staff and equipment from the satellite operations in Sweetwater, TX, Independence, KS and Worthington, MN moved to the new location.

WES is taking necessary steps to position the company for long-term profitability in the current challenging economic environment. WES is a wholly owned entity of the Molded Fiber Glass Companies (MFG), a diversified manufacturer of composite components for wind energy equipment as well as products for the automotive, trucking, construction and defense industries.
