In recent years the business has expanded into the bioenergy field to deliver biofuels, biomass, and biogas projects,particularly focussed on the development, design and build of anaerobic digestion plants in the energy from waste market.
Capita’s property and infrastructure business (formerly Capita Symonds) is one of the UK’s leading multidisciplinary engineering consultancies.
“PROjEN is an excellent cultural fit for our business and reflects our commitment to expansion through the acquisition of strong and innovative businesses that allow us to enter new markets and provide new technological solutions to our clients,” said Capita executive director of design and management Simon Birchall.
“PROjEN is a well established, innovative business in key target markets for us and I welcome its staff to our business.”
Capita’s acquisition of a firm with anaerobic digestion (AD) expertise follows GE’s acquisition of AD specialist Monsal earlier this week
