'Gap between production orders' closes CS Wind for 6 weeks

CS Wind Canada announced a six-week shutdown Friday.

It will run from July 25 until after Labour Day, "due to a gap between production orders," the company said in a news release.

The company remained positive in its announcement.

"CS Wind Canada expects to be very busy for the remainder of the year and next. The temporary shutdown is due to a timing issue in the scheduling of contracts," human resources and general affairs manager Donna Kinsman-Jackson said in in the release. "We value the positive rapport we have with our union representatives so the CS Wind Canada management team worked around the clock to pull some of these orders forward to avoid a summer shutdown, but they could not be moved ahead as we hoped."

The company will spend the summer doing preventive maintenance at the plant and preparing for "new major contracts" beginning in September.
