Nowadays the scope of interests of Wrobis S.A. covers mainly North and West European countries. In the years 2004 -2011 we delivered contracts in the Sweden, Norway, United Kingdom, and Russia.

In all these states we established extensive relationships with potential investors, which, when combined with favourable credentials received from current foreign partners, will certainly lead to concluding more construction contracts.

All that time our workers and personnel had to struggle with the extreme weather conditions common in this part of Norway.

The construction works in wintertime, with ambient temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees and very strong winds called for the use of the latest technology, while the cooperation with Bechtel International required our company to provide a special system of safety training based on American OSHA guidelines.
