The Siemens facility was unveiled by Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark on Thursday, 01 December.
The centre will supply 75-metre long turbine blades over the next four years for a range of new offshore wind farm developments across the UK.
Schemes include Dong Energy's Hornsea One wind farm off the coast of Yorkshire, and Scottish and Southern Energy's (SSE) Beatrice wind farm located in the Moray Firth.

Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark said: "This is exactly the relationship we want to see between our large infrastructure projects in the UK and our supply chain companies as part of our industrial strategy.
"Hull has established itself as an important manufacturing and engineering centre for this innovative and exciting new industry. In the coming years the new offshore wind projects that this factory will supply could generate enough clean electricity to power over 3 million homes and businesses – all with wind turbine blades produced by the dedicated and highly skilled Siemens workforce right here in Hull."
