Represented by a regional team from Bilfinger Engineering & Maintenance CEE, Bilfinger provided EPCm services for the new plant, covering concept development, permitting, and tender design. Bilfinger also supported procurement management to select construction companies for the new plant, and provided extensive site management services. Through these extensive efforts, Bilfinger ensured the successful execution and completion of the project.
Furthermore, to achieve overall facility transformation, the client also modified the existing plant to increase the existing production capacity. Within this project, our team supported the client with technical and environmental due diligence, engineering, environmental and construction permits, procurement, and construction management.
Functional insulation plays a crucial role in enhancing the energy efficiency of both industrial and residential buildings. Reducing of the energy consumption needed for heating plays an important role in the construction of more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly buildings.

Central and Eastern Europe is home to five out of seven European Union countries with the highest gas-saving potential from insulating residential buildings. More than 50% of gas consumption can be reduced in Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. Building owners need access to good quality, affordable, and sustainable renovation solutions, and Knauf Insulation is committed to providing them", stated Radek Bedrna, Managing Director for Eastern Europe and the Middle East at Knauf Insulation.
