Peikko Group Corporation has today, 23 of May 2013, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with AREVA NP SAS regarding possibilities of developing a future cooperation between AREVA and Peikko Group in nuclear power plant building construction, particularly in Finland but also elsewhere.

“We at Peikko are very pleased to continue the good cooperation with a reliable partner such as AREVA. The Memorandum of Understanding gives us the possibility to further develop our cooperation and to enhance our opportunity to serve AREVA in future projects. We find it very important to be able to be part in cooperation with one of the leading players in the field, and to participate in constructing buildings for safe nuclear power.
