The companies said the acquisition would boost Westinghouse Global Offerings in nuclear refueling, maintenance, inspection services, engineering, training and digital services and products.
“We are very pleased to welcome Tecnatom into the Westinghouse team,” said Patrick Fragman, Westinghouse President and CEO. “The partnership established in 2021 with Endesa revealed the depth of expertise and potential of Tecnatom teams, complementing exceptionally well the portfolio of Westinghouse’s existing activities. We are looking forward to integrating Tecnatom fully into Westinghouse, at a time when our utility and industrial customers require the highest level of expertise and performance to help them successfully operate their existing operations and implement their plans for new capacities.”
