Team Electric Group gears up in Romania to serve regional yards and local talent

The European turnkey engineering group recently formalized the basis for its activities in Romania by establishing Team Electric (Romania), with head offices in Galati. The new company brings together some well-known marine engineering professionals based in Romania, headed by Managing Director Lucian Achimfiev and Deputy Technical Director Petrică Crăciun. 

“We are ambitious to develop Romania as a centre of excellence within Team Electric, so that Romanian yards retain more value-add and completion work in-country, while homegrown engineering talent joins an international business with exciting career prospects,” commented Mattias Jörgensen – CEO of the Team Electric Group.

Jörgensen said that, after establishing the Romanian enterprise, Team Electric had waited until securing its first package of engineering, design, installation and commissioning services work from an international customer before breaking cover.

“Team Electric Romania has been growing month by month, adding electricians, design engineers, service engineers and planners, to build a strong and balanced team with the experience to manage a range of projects,” he said. An undisclosed international yard partner had contracted Team Electric (Romania) to install extensive electrical systems on board a multi-role patrol platform, he added.

“As a provider of turnkey electrical solutions for shipyards worldwide, securing our first contracts in Romania is clearly highly significant for Team Electric, especially given that the workload includes some very advanced systems,” said Jörgensen. “Our aim is always to work with our yard partners to find the technical, commercial and service solutions that best meet their needs, for coastguards, cruise ship or ferry owners, or for any type of merchant ship.”
