Anemoi unveils state-of-the-art Rotor Sail production facility in China

UK-based Anemoi Marine Technologies, a global leader in wind propulsion solutions, announces the official opening of its new Rotor Sail production facility in China. This landmark development significantly enhances Anemoi’s manufacturing capabilities and underscores its commitment to accelerating the maritime industry’s transition to zero emissions.



Strategically located on the banks of the Yangtze River, Anemoi’s facility is located in Jingjiang City, Jiangsu Province, within Daming Heavy Industry’s manufacturing base. The facility provides direct access to port infrastructure, enabling seamless logistics for import, export, and delivery. With barge transport available on-site, Rotor Sails can be transported efficiently and installed directly at nearby major shipyards, streamlining operations and minimising environmental impact.



"This is more than just a new site," said Clare Urmston, CEO of Anemoi. "It’s a fully integrated, end-to-end production hub where every stage, from steel fabrication and precision assembly to rigorous testing and quality assurance, is handled under one roof. That means faster turnaround, uncompromised quality, and complete oversight by our expert team, on site, from start to finish. Anemoi’s strategy is quality first and this site enables exactly that.”



Anemoi has been working in China since its pilot installation in 2018, and subsequently established its Chinese entity, ANEMOI Marine Technologies (Changzhou) Co., Ltd.,  安诺米船舶科技（常州）有限公司, in 2021.

With an annual production capacity of 250 Rotor Sails, and the option to expand further and store units for fast turnaround, the new site positions Anemoi to meet surging global demand and support its customers in achieving critical decarbonisation goals. The scale and capabilities of this facility make it the first of its kind for wind propulsion, cementing Anemoi’s leadership in this transformative sector.



“Our presence in one of China’s key shipping hubs not only strengthens existing strategic relationships but also paves the way for new collaborations,” added Nick Contopoulos, Chief Commercial Officer of Anemoi “Getting to zero emissions requires forward-thinking action and partnerships like these. Together, we are shaping the future of sustainable shipping.”
