Major move as leading Waterford company opens new European office as expansion continues

A leading Waterford-based company has taken another major step in its European expansion with the opening of a new office abroad.

Suir Engineering, headquartered in Waterford, has announced the opening of its new office in the Slovak Republic, marking a further expansion of its European operations.

Located in Košice, eastern Slovakia, the new office currently employs six senior engineers and will "support the design and delivery of projects across the energy and renewables sectors across Europe".

The company says this strategic location provides Suir Engineering with a "solid platform for future investment and expansion to meet growing international demand", and they plan to recruit talent from across European markets to support this growth.

Day-to-day operations will be led by long-serving Suir Engineering veteran Jozef Belusko, Engineering Director of EP&R (Energy, Power & Renewables) who said: "It's a privilege to lead this significant milestone in Suir Engineering's European expansion. The country has firmly established itself as a centre of excellence for engineering, energy infrastructure and renewable projects.
