Framatome has announced the acquisition of the Energy and Defense subsidiaries of the EFINOR group, operating in the nuclear energy and naval defense sectors in France and the U.K. Through this acquisition, Framatome reinforces its industrial welding skills and its range of qualified welding procedures, and boosts its expertise in component manufacturing, engineering and services.

"We wish a warm welcome to our new colleagues joining Framatome," said Bernard Fontana, CEO of Framatome. "This acquisition is aligned with our strategy to strengthen our capacity to deliver safe, high-quality solutions for the long-term operations of our customers' existing nuclear plants and new build projects."

Fontana noted that Framatome will benefit both from the engineering and industrial expertise of the EFINOR group Energy and Defense teams, and from its existing relationships with local partners and customers in France and the U.K. Following the recent integration of the U.K BHR Group, this new acquisition marks Framatome's commitment and position as a major partner of the British nuclear programme. Framatome has supported the U.K. nuclear market for more than 25 years, contributing to the engineering and maintenance of existing reactors and participating in new build projects including Hinkley Point C.

"Quality welding is a stake in the success of our industry," said Catherine Cornand, senior executive vice president of Framatome's Installed Base Business Unit. "The integration of new skilled teams enhances our on-site welding response and engineering expertise to meet our customers' expectations."

From engineering to on-site manufactured component installation, the EFINOR group Energy and Defense division operates a wide range of projects and services supporting construction programs for new nuclear reactors, naval defense industry and other industrial applications.

The French and British assets of the Energy and Defense division and its teams will be gradually integrated into the various product lines of the Framatome Installed Base Business Unit.
