Westinghouse fortifies engineering staff in India

Westinghouse augmented its engineering resources for the global nuclear energy business with the creation of Westinghouse India Engineering Center. The agreement between Westinghouse Electric and Infotech Enterprises Ltd. indicated that WIEC will be located at Infotech's campus in Hyderabad and will be staffed with Infotech employees dedicated solely to working for Westinghouse. It will lay the foundation for Westinghouse AP1000™ nuclear power plant work in India.

"Our partnership with Infotech will further strengthen Westinghouse's capabilities in the region, and it serves as another sign of our commitment to the Indian market," said Aris Candris, President and CEO of Westinghouse.

"Having skilled people working on our projects is critical to success. The people of Infotech have the proper skills, experience and resources to help ensure the success of our projects in the region."
