Despite the uncertain economic picture, Lorien Engineering Solutions' continuing international success is being boosted by the creation of a Central European base in Poland.
"We are in the enviable position of being able to support successful major international companies, including brand leaders in food, brewing, drinks and health care products, who are at the forefront in developing highly efficient production centres and manufacturing innovations.
The announcement follows a marked period of sales and profit growth for the firm, which provides engineering and project management services to the FMCG sector, both nationally and internationally. 2008/9 has been the firm's best year on record.
The new branch office will be known as Lorien Engineering Polska, and will be based in the historic city of Wroclaw in the South-West of Poland. From there the firm will be strongly positioned to develop its existing presence in the country's food, brewing and health care sectors, and the office will act as a European hub for the firm's many international clients who have a growing presence in the region.
