The two businesses have completed the formation of their joint venture Fehmarnbelt Solution Services. The aim is for the two rental and construction site solution providers to work together to serve the project, which is due to start this summer.
鈥淲e are pleased to have received the approval from the competition authorities for the joint venture together with Zeppelin Rental,鈥� said Magnus Ros茅n, president and CEO of Finland's Ramirent Group. 鈥淥ur joint venture is well-positioned to be selected as rental supplier for the project and is ready to commence activities to offer our services to the different companies working on the tunnel construction project.鈥�
