More than 250 companies at Parc Adfer ‘Meet the Buyer’ event today
Business leaders from across North Wales have been in Deeside today to find out more about the multi-million pound supply chain opportunities that will be unlocked by the construction of Parc Adfer, the new energy recovery facility set for construction on the Deeside Industrial Park.
More than 250 companies have registered to attend today’s ‘Meet the Buyer’ event which will highlight up to £14million worth of opportunities to supply the Parc Adfer energy recovery facility planned for Deeside Enterprise Zone.
The all-day event, supported by the Welsh Government, is being hosted by Wheelabrator Technologies Inc, in partnership with its civil engineering contractor Sisk Group and JFE Engineering Group (Baumgarte GmbH) which will be delivering the mechanical and electrical packages for Parc Adfer.
Wheelabrator, a leading energy from waste company with headquarters in New Hampshire, USA, was granted planning permission to develop the facility in June this year and the three year construction phase is due to start next year.
More than 250 companies have registered for the event at the Coleg Cambria Conference Centre. The event will cover opportunities in construction and civil engineering as well as ancillary and site support services.
Economy Minister Edwina Hart said:
“ This is a major project for North Wales and we want as many Welsh businesses as possible to benefit from the investment. It’s therefore good news to see that so many businesses are attending to-days event to engage with the developers and partners to identify potential business opportunities.”
Gary Aguinaga, Managing Director, UK Operations, for Wheelabrator added:
“Following planning permission being awarded to Parc Adfer earlier in this year, we want to ensure that we give local businesses the opportunity to bid for the many supply chain packages that this project will require. We’re looking forward to finding out more about the depth of talent and experience that businesses in North Wales can offer the Parc Adfer project.
