In Russia, the automotive industry is redeveloping, increasingly collaborating with established global vehicle manufacturers.

With our broad experience in this sector, we are able to guide clients in finding the best solutions including property consultancy, energy savings and waste water. Our ambition is to increase our involvement in planning and optimizing production technology as well as optimization of facility planning with a cost oriented lean approach’.
