President Obama
tours the
Siemens Wind Turbine Blade Manufacturing Plant
in Fort Madison, Iowa
“. . [J]ust a few short years ago, this
facility was dark, it was quiet, nothing
was going on. And today, it’s alive and
humming with more than 600 employees
. . .So in the midst of the economic
turmoil, the Recovery Act helped make it
possible for America to install nearly 10
gigawatts of new wind-generating
capacity last year alone -– and that's
enough to power more than 2.4 million
American homes. So when people ask
you what was the Recovery Act about,
what was the stimulus about, it was
about this -- this plant.”

Was ist die D&B D-U-N-S® Nummer?
Die D&B D-U-N-S® Nummer (Data Universal Numbering System) ist ein
neunstelliger Zahlenschlüssel. Damit können Unternehmen weltweit eindeutig
identifiziert werden. Firmen lassen sich so ihren Muttergesellschaften,
Niederlassungen, Hauptsitzen und Filialen zuordnen. Über 120 Mio.
Unternehmen können heute bereits über die D&B D-U-N-S® Nummer
zugeordnet werden.
Wer kann eine D&B D-U-N-S® Nummer anfordern?
Eine D&B D-U-N-S® Nummer kann nur vom jeweiligen Unternehmen selbst
angefordert werden.
Warum sollten Sie eine D&B D-U-N-S® Nummer haben?
Verfügt ein Unternehmen über eine D&B D-U-N-S® Nummer, kann es jederzeit
eindeutig identifiziert und klar zugeordnet werden. Das vereinfacht die
Beziehung zwischen Kunden und Lieferanten. Fordern Sie Ihre D&B D-U-N-S®
Nummer jetzt kostenlos über UPIK® an!
