Philippe Guillemot, Chairman and CEO of AREVA T&D, said “This success is the logical continuation of our long-term cooperation with ALCAN. This win also demonstrates our ability to meet the specific needs of electro-intensive industry customers and represents another breakthrough in our strategy to grow on this market.”
