Both during the Fehmarn Link Business Conference and subsequently, SICE-Cobra has established contact with many European potential subcontractors.
The Spanish consortium SICE-Cobra and its Danish subsidiary, Femern Systems Contractor (FSC), which is responsible for installing the electrical and mechanical interior of the Fehmarn Belt tunnel, are experiencing a great amount of interest from European companies that are eager to assist on the million-euro task.
SICE-Cobra was one of the presenters at the Fehmarn Link Business Conference '22 in Rødbyhavn on 29th September, and already here the first contacts were made with European companies.
"It was a very successful conference where we took the opportunity to meet representatives from different companies and already at this early stage in the project, we have secured future business opportunities with local companies," says division manager José Manuel Olivares Villafranca, SICE-Cobra /FSC.
