On 12 June in Rzeszow, EME Aero sp. z o.o. and Warbud S.A. signed a contract to construct a factory to renovate, service and repair jet engines manufactured by the US company Pratt&Whitney (these engines are used in, e.g. Airbus A320neo and Bombardier CS aircraft). The contract signing is the outcome of a tender lasting several months in which some of the biggest construction companies on the Polish market participated.

EME Aero sp. z o.o., i.e. the investor, was advised by a team of experts headed by Tomasz Darowski, Partner in the Infrastructure & Energy Practice. Our advice included preparing the draft construction contract and representing the company in negotiations and contract conclusion.
