Baltic Towers is building a hall for the production of offshore wind towers with gigantic dimensions in Gdańsk. In figures the hall will be:
- 135m wide,
- 430m long and
- almost 36m high.
The construction phase began in June 2024 and Baltic Towers will start producing the offshore towers with 400 production employees from the second quarter of 2025. This new facility will be producing tower segments of:
- diameter of 11m,
- length of 50m
- weight of 500t .
The production capacity is estimated at 150 towers per year.
Cometto has been awarded awarded the contract to supply 48 SPMT axle lines from the 48T series with 4 Power Pack Units.
In future, these self-propelled modules will be used to transport the delivered steel plates and the tower sections and entire towers produced from them to the right place in production, to the storage area and on to the ship loading area.

The SPMTs to be delivered will be the backbone of our production,’ says Tomasz Bogdan from Baltic Towers, emphasising the importance of the new vehicles, ’and that is why, after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the offers, we chose Cometto as our partner in this lighthouse project.’ Baltic Towers was established in 2023 as a result of cooperation between the Polish Industrial Development Agency S.A. and the Spanish company GRI Renewable Industries, S.L. This joint project is a significant factor in strengthening the Polish offshore wind energy supply chain.
