The Associated Press//September 24, 2010//
Listen to this articleGENEVA — A hair-care company says it’s spending about $7 million to build two giant wind turbines at its manufacturing plant in upstate New York.
Zotos International Inc., a subsidiary of Japanese cosmetics maker Shiseido Co., broke ground Friday on what the American Wind Energy Association calls the largest on-site, wind energy project by any U.S. manufacturer.
Its factory in the Finger Lakes city of Geneva employs 670 full-time and part-time workers making hair-care and personal-styling products.
Zotos says $2.1 million of the cost is covered by the federal stimulus grant program. It expects the 350-foot-tall turbines to be built by year-end and generate about 70 percent of its power needs in Geneva.
Zotos was founded in 1929 as a maker of hair dyes.
