Framatome has announced the completion of its purchase of Rolls Royce Civil Nuclear Instrumentation and Control (I&C). Through this transaction, Framatome builds on its engineering expertise, enlarges its industrial footprint, and expands its global I&C systems development and deployment capabilities.

This purchase and the expert workforce joining Framatome, will further enhance our I&C offering for reliable, low carbon nuclear energy production," said Bernard Fontana, CEO of Framatome. "I welcome the talented employees of Rolls Royce Civil Nuclear to Framatome." More than 550 employees, mainly located in France (Grenoble), will join the company through the transaction. The acquisition will incorporate Rolls-Royce Civil Nuclear's products and technologies such as Spinline, Rodline and Hardline into Framatome's I&C portfolio.
