In addition, the two groups are collaborating on nuclear and industrial maintenance projects, such as the supply of replacement steam generators for French nuclear power plants.
"The projects carried out jointly with COMEX NUCLEAIRE's teams have allowed us to assess ESI Group's synergies with this global player on a human scale. The outcome is extremely positive as today we are launching a global long-term partnership. Our joint [effort] and a thorough knowledge of each other's domains of expertise will allow us to benefit from our respective international positioning to further develop close connections with our customers," said Tomasz Kisielewicz, executive vice-president of global projects and engineering services at ESI Group.
