As last year when Epstein undertook projects worth some 40 million euro, the US-based engineering and construction company anticipates that 2014 will at least equal the previous one in terms of the value of contracted works. The list includes a new production facility where Aversa Manufacturing, the centrifugal pumps manufacturer, will be relocated - that only amounting to 15 million euro, according to Mediafax.
“The contract prices of design, engineering and construction works carried out last year came to about 40 million euro. We are at the beginning of the year and we hope to have more projects in 2014, therefore we estimate that the value of the projects for which we are going to provide our services this year will be the same as last year. There is a large number of projects foreseen in Romania, and if we will be selected for these ones, the forecast will be significantly adjusted”,Randy Tharp, Epstein’s Managing Director, stated, quoted by the newswire.
